Dennis Ritchie has died. A suggestion

[Roland Smith]

With the recent death of Dennis Ritchie, we've lost one of the giants on whose
shoulders we are standing. But rather that mourn his passing, I think it would
be proper to remember and celebrate his achievements.

His contributions to the C language and the UNIX operating system are a
legacy that few can match.

Therefore I would like to propose that the FreeBSD project dedicate the
upcoming 9.0 release in his memory.

Alternatively, an tribute on the FreeBSD website would be fitting, wouldn't it?

Roland
