OK, I'll bite. Go read the source in the
FreeBSD tree, which has been
reduced in size by 60% according to someone on the team. Then come
back and draw me a picture of what it does.
Larry, it seems to me your argument is the Mach code should never
have been incorporated into BSD in the first place. That's fine,
but it's not the Mach developers fault that happened, so maybe you
should lay off them for not writing their research software to a
production shop standard they were never a part of?
