What?

I hope I misunderstood your words but, it looks like the OpenBeOS
guys are going to accept the rules dictated (cause a standard is a 
rule IMHO) from third-party company/organization...

so, try to figure out this...

BlueOS, MickeysMouseOS and SnoopyOS decide to move all startup
scripts to a completely different system (think something like 
SystemV vs BSD), and BeUnited accepts these changes: now what should
we do?

Change our system cause others changed their mind?

Personally, I don't really care about the others, i mean our aim
is to develop the new BeOS, isn't it?
And how can we innovate if someone has already the ability to change 
our destiny?

And if BlueOS, whateverOS and PopeOS insert new kits in their system
what should we do?
Write our own kit following the example of the others, cause
BeUnited told us it has to be?!?!?

This is simply ridiculous, i mean, we are OpenBeOS (or at least
who writes code is OpenBeOS..) and this idea of standards dictated
from someone else simply sucks...i'm sorry...

In the BSD world, the FreeBSD guys have their own idea and IF
someone else is already working on something similar they will
adopt that system, but they don't accept any order from anyone
(organization, company, religion, or whatever...) they decide
on their own...

I'm sorry but the idea of the standards created from someone else
is simply senseless...

everything OBVIOUSLY in my HUMBLE opinion, and i hope NOBODY
will be offended by my words/thought/etcetc.... =)
