Try to see people's ignorance as a testament to his character in  
wanting to do what he felt was the right thing.  How many developers  
do you know that had commit access to FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD?   
I only noticed accidently when the documentation for all three BSDs  
looked very familiar once long ago in IPv6's early stages :-).  While  
I saw him do a fascinating talk on IPv6 once, I see him as  
representing the many quiet coders who quite literally shut up and hack.

It's the quiet ones who change the world, the loud ones only take the  
credit.

RIP itojun.
