You still think that traffic on a list will result in code being
written. This is utterly wrong.

It's probably a good thing I did not wait for you to write code for
OpenBSD, without waiting for people to tell ``would it be nice if
someone would write code that do this and that'' on mailing lists.

But this is not philosophy. It's just having a lucid look on what works,
and what doesn't. People whining on mailing lists have never been of
any help. Ever. Even working on documentation. And in the meantime,
people who are not that active on lists makes things progress. This is
how things are, even if this is not how you would like them to be.
