    Can someone explain why James just made it impossible to

    James, why did not you discuss this first?  All opensource BSDs
    have been using _one_ source module since their inception.
    In the case of FreeBSD, that dates back to 1993, so this is
    clearly a proven model.

    What do the active developers on this list think?

I am not quite sure how/what broke. However, no matter if what James did was the right or wrong thing to do, I think it should have been discussed first (in detail). Andi
