I guess we'll be keeping the fixes to ourselves now

@feld it's really hard to find a good reason to upstream fixes by now. you can always easily take any of their changes, and don't have to fight to get your changes integrated. either way, age of the personal software is here.

> age of the personal software is here.

it was already here if you had enough motivation. If my memory is correct about the person involved:

There's a private variant of FreeBSD which I've seen referred to as BruceBSD*. Bruce Simpson is a long time developer and has made massive changes to the kernel that were never upstreamed. :)

* perhaps only on IRC? my email searches are coming up empty

edit: not Bruce Simpson, another Bruce. Too many Bruces. I can't remember which one and my email searches are coming up empty.

@feld @lain where did you get that paragraph?

There was an unofficial BruceBSD that never got publicly released. By the same author that would Brucify you if you made mistakes.

But at least the one I'm thinking of definitely wasn't bms.

@encthenet @lain I may very well be clawing at my memory and finding the wrong Bruce! which one was it?

I will admit I had to go back to my mail archive to remind myself who it was.

@encthenet @lain thanks. I was searching my mail without success. I know it was mentioned on the developers list many times but somehow I failed to find it
