    GNU binutils linker
    If they're using LLVM/Clang then I'd expect them to be using LLVM/Clang's own LLD instead.

      Seems like the developers would be better off contributing to FreeBSD rather than forking OpenBSD.

      FreeBSD already has alot of the stuff on their agenda to implement.

        Exactly what I was thinking.

            Its called advice. There is an entire profession built around the idea. If you don't understand it, go to work and ask your boss to explain it. I am sure he has a lot of experience telling others what to do.

            I have to apologize. I just got off of some slashdot based HTTP(S) rant... so little things are sounding more ridiculous than they really are right now.

              At least the name of the fork is original, not like devuan ( because devian was not available ) or the soon to be fedura fork ;p

              Fork you, fork me fork everything!

                Yes, they will switch to a linker still under heavy development and not ready for prime time. Yes, that makes so much sense.

                  trowing more people on a project won't help the project much, so it's bad advice
                  software is not your normal business

                    Removing the giant lock is definitely not a good idea. Otherwise, the rest of their roadmap looks ok to me.
