	Ulrich, you are describing the developer-unfriendly way that you
manage glibc development, not a general model for Free Software
development supported by the FSF or other projects, such as GCC.  I am
sorry that you seem to be mentoring Ben in that style.  If Ben needs more
help or someone to handle the non-GNU/Linux maintenance of v3, he should
ask. 

	Making authoritative-sounding prounouncements does not make them
correct.

David
