[ros-dev] Piles upon piles of regressions

[Alex Ionescu]

Hi,

I realize maybe some of you are aware of these, but it seems that we 
just keep adding more and more regressions and there hasn't really been 
an effort to fix them... We don't have a TC anymore and now the tree is 
becoming as bad as before, which just proves the point of how badly this 
project needed a TC.

I've just booted ROS for the first time in a month and I'm surprised at 
the number of new things that have cropped up. The start menu became 
huge, the registry is not cleanly dereferenced at shutdown (causing it 
to get damaged and that makes freeldr display the "Codepage error"), 
dhcp still crashes on first-boot since networking isn't installed, the 
16x16 icons look like crap since alphablending was implemented, all 
sorts of drivers "fail to load' on startup, RPC displays messages about 
"Buffer overflows", umpnpmgr tries to copy invalid drivers, shutdown 
still doesn't work on my QEMU,... and this is only what I've noticed 
after 2 minutes.

Anyways, I don't want to nitpick, just to bring these issues up to 
attention in case noobdy is aware of them.

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
