No, Greg. You keep refusing to hear the point that, from the NetBSD
user community's standpoint, it is not a solution *at all* at present.

Its' not a `best' solution; its *NOT* a solution.

I dont think that has ever been at issue.

No, Greg. I'm saying netBSD shouldn't offer an officially-sanctioned
service until we can offer it to all NetBSD users. And, for that
matter, all NetBSD servers.  That is where the analogy about `racism'
comes in.  We want all ports to be equal; you want some to be more equal
than others, and you are complaining because you're encountering resistance.

'need' is certainly the way it read, though you may not have used the
words.  And the `testimonials' you refer to implied it even more
strongly.  But anyway: if you dont need CVSup, then why do we need to
provide an officially-sanctioned CVSup server for you?

As for "rudeness": do you not think character attacks are extremely rude?
