Michael, if you cant keep a civil tongue, I'll respond in kind.

Most of those depend on hardware resources, or on third-party software
which isn't supplying some `critical service'.

That is not the point. The point is, when CVSup becomes an ``official'
sevrice, users *will* want it on ports other than Greg's
more-equal-than- other ports. Quite rightly, too. That puts pressure
on *me* to provide it.

What you and Greg are doing is going to put pressure all NetBSD and
all its portmasters to port Modula-3. You are deliberately bypassing
the question of whether that's a worth-while thing to do, or whether
we as a Project should be pursuing some other

No, Michael. You dont get it.  you put it up, *you* get the flak from
everyone with a sparc or arm32 or mips or vax (or whatever) who wants
to run CVSup, an i386 to run it on; or *you*, personally, along with
Greg, are going to be held publically responsible for finding
the rsources to do the port.

As you inisited on  a flawed `solution' in the first place.
