Its been brought to my attention that some think this message was
intended as a cheap shot at Jason.  That was NOT my intent.  In fact,
nothing could be further from the truth.  Being involved in the
FreeBSD effort, I truly appreciate how much work is involved in
getting SMP going on alpha.  My hat is off to Jason for doing that
work in NetBSD.

I really meant it when I said "Its a great week for BSD on alpha"
and I apologize if my message has been taken in any other way.

I'll shut up & go away now...
