Could you possibly be more dishonest than this? Impressive. Keep up the good
work.

I am one of the very few people that have continuously and extensively worked
on the NetBSD kernel over the last five years, to bring stability, performance
and security improvements in all of the system. I've redesigned a good part of
our x86 port, I've developed all the complex fixes for the speculation bugs,
I've worked on securing our network stack, our syscalls, our allocators, I've
developed comprehensive hypervisor support, the strongest KASLR existing to
date, and apart from that, I've developed numerous bug detection systems that
have fixed several hundreds of bugs in NetBSD, among many other miscellaneous
things I've done in and for NetBSD.

And you, who are you exactly? You sound like a clueless fatass.

As I said, keep up the good work. Anyway you've just lost what was left
of your credibility, your mails go directly to the trash from now on.
