Because after having asked on #dd and #-kbsd the same questions (you were asking the proper thing to do, etc.), you were answered to please Cc -bsd@ to make sure everything was in order, which you didn't do. Of course, trying to get opinions on IRC, being explicitly told not to rely on IRC, and to use mail instead is something you may want not to follow in the end… [*] > > Thanks for being so nice to porters after having tried so hard to > > understand the picture! > > I did not think this is a matter of porting -- indeed, porting > SELinux is probably onerous enough to be impractical.

It's about getting an architecture together. That obviously (or is that not so obvious?) includes dealing with packages that are arch-specific. That means P-a-s.

If you want to do something your way, don't ask for opinions and ignore them afterwards. And play the “I don't know what you mean” guy. That's just grotesque. Mraw, KiBi.
