This rant starts off technical, the kernel of it starts with the following tale: An electrical utility board meeting started off with a proposal to build a nucler power plant. This proposal was met with approval, and minimal comment. Later on in the meeting there was a proposal to build a bikeshed near an existing power plant, which triggered a lively discussion from the board members about changing the particular details, like its color. The bikeshed rant scolds the members of a FreeBSD development mailing list about how new projects are handled, with a lot of arguing over technical details that keep new projects from progressing, and hinge on details that are more a matter of style than technical merit. Do your part to curb the bikeshed! If you see your peers bikeshedding, call them out. If your mentors make a bikeshed of your work, stand your ground.
