I wouldn't say that the people from Berkeley were indifferent
to the requests.  Nothing from the group working on BSD is
posted on net.sources or any other newsgroup.  All network
newsgroups have too wide of a distribution.   Many sights
do not have the proper licensing for the information already
being distributed.

Berkeley is also not a software production environment.  We do
not have the facilities to continually distribute bug fixes or
maintainence releases on a regular basis.  Changes that are 
considered important enough are made and will be distributed
through a proper release, if and when one happens.
