Why do you think your list got ignored? ;-) I've been working with it.
Then that was an opinion of one person. Nobody voted for it.

Your mail is your personal opinion. That site is (or am I mistaken?)
an official place where to look for information.

You know, I could have committed the (openafs) port since I got it
build/install/deinstall succesfully. But I'd better don't do it.
And discuss a better ways/decisions/etc. at this list. Because
since the port gets committed it should reflect official position
of those who *can* make decisions: developers, admins, power users.
And because it will be (very) hard and/or painful to change the port
(it's infrastructure, directory layout) later.

One thing to say something while other to do it. Changes to that page (I
think) should have been discussed and/or approved by some community. If
those changes appear that may influence not only a FreeBSD port.
