	True, there are strong personalities in each group.  I'm not
trying to merge them either.  It ain't gonna happen any time soon.

	I also tend to think that most of what gets people heated up and
annoyed with one another tends to be kernel issues.  I don't think the
majority of the *BSD userland code is, or ever will be, contraversial.
This is the fraction that I'm aiming at.

	Someone has suggested privately this thread is off topic.  So
unless someone has something to add, I'm ready to let the thread drop.

cheers,

	Adrian
