Havard,

You completely misunderstood me.  Our release engineering team "sat on
their hands doing nothing "for months.  I reviewed the FreeBSD source,
noticed the TCP MD5 option, and asked (so I could plan my own time!)
when the 2.0 branch was going to occur.  Releng did their internal
process, and eventually announced ``next weekend'', with a pronounced
hostile additude to new features.

At that point, TCP MD5 patently wasn't going to get in for 2.0, so I
spent my available NetBSD time on other things.
