[ ... ] No offense Valdis, you know I both like you and consider you a friend, but if you (sendmail) can't take the heat and/or stand up to the task of being International Infrastructure, step down.
This isn't about processes, it's about something that has been around for a while, many reply on and keeps ******* up. Where it simply can't.
What world do you live in were everything is done perfect ? If you don't like sendmail because of its history or that it can contains flaws, vote with your feet and choose something that you do think can be trusted to do a better job, is more secure, is more actively developed and is developed more securely then sendmail. [*] Heck, if I were to have kids one day and would like them to get to school safely by car, I'd like to have something short of a tank to be absolutely certain. Instead I'll probably make them aware of the risks, give them good protection and bicyle helmets... Now if I were a head of state or something, I'd probably have people to get me that tank... Note the "have people"...
Gadi.
Regards, JP Velders [*] it happened with ssh.com versus OpenSSH... (though the license played a role, people did vote with their feet)
