Creation was declined then because the amount of traffic
specific to DragonFly was essentially zero. From what I see by searching the archives today, most mentions of DragonFly closely stem from comments such as
"I can't seem to get support for device xyz in ijk BSD, so maybe I will try DragonFly..."
It does not appear that the data leading to the earlier decision has markedly changed.
I know that proponents for creating a new forum will go all
Field of Dreams on us stating that
(new) traffic will spontaneously appear once such a forum is created. However, the data does not particularly support this claim.
To date, the
Other BSD and UNIX/UNIX-like forum has long been set up as a breeding ground for emerging members of the *BSD family. When we see sufficient traffic warranting separation, we will create a new forum.
