How many of them have a dozen users that do not happen to be developers of the distro? How many of them are actually used in production?

The reason for that is simple: because it quickly turned away from merits to politics, FUD and nonsense. And spammed the mailing list to incredible level. So after next mail about the bad Templars silently planning to take over the world by integrating udev in systemd codebase and renaming it to systemd-udevd... I mean, people have their limits, and there are amounts of nonsense that set us off. Please don't forget to ban all *BSDs for keeping their sources in a single repository. They took over the whole base-system already, and you have to fork the whole system just to have the choice! -- Best regards, Michał Górny <http://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/>
