Oh boy.  If i can't stand one thing that's such an attitude: first,
it's our project, and we are doing it in our spare-time.  Thus, better
leave it to us what we do, and when we're doing it.

Second, if you don't have a clue about why FreeBSD 2.2 has been
deferred, better shut up.  (And you just proved that you don't have a
clue about this, although it's not at all a secret.)

Finally, there's no such thing as a ``kernel mailing list'' at all.
