The bug database is not the place for airing grievances. 
If you have anything pertinent to add to the audit trail 
of a PR please do so by including that PR in the subject line 
of your message. Don't create a new PR.

 That's a silly idea. Either the FS should fly as a kernel module
 as submitted or else forget it. A port exists in user-land NOT
 kernel-land. The VFS/VNODE interface changes from RELEASE to
 RELEASE. This would mean that the port would need to be upgraded
 for each release of FreeBSD.

 I apologize to Andrew Tanenbaum for misspelling his name; I meant
 no disrespect to him and I will correct the error in the appropriate
 places. Thank-you for pointing that out to me; however, the remark
 that you made that I want to see him dressed up as a Christmas tree,
 seems a little desparate to me: Is that the extent of your criticism
 of this submittal?

 Firstly, I posted the question in question@freebsd.org. It was suggested
 to me (by more than one response) that I should submit the diff as
 a PR.
 
 Secondly, It says in the handbook to submit large code as a PR.
 
 Thirdly, You, Dag-Erling Smorgrav, don't have to read the PR!
