Maybe you fellows should stop the pissing contest. It's going nowhere. Con has identified a need that impacts his life and wrote some code that scratched his itch. So it's buggy - oh wow, glory be, like that has never happened before. The code probably ran on hardware Con doesn't own. Let's compare this state of affairs with Linux itself for the first week after it's first public release. See where this is going? Bugs happen, they get reported and often fixed. Code improves. These patches have been out there for 7 days. Leave them be and let them mature. Utterly and completely condemning a chunk of code that is 7 days old is just infantile and shows a lack of comprehension of the coding process. Or a hidden agenda. No-one here can possibly know what benefits BFS will bring as it matures. But utterly and completely dismissing it out of hand is just plain stupid. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
