s/discovering/committing to/ Carmack has been aware of and actively involved in UNIX systems for a long time now. This isn't a recent discovery. However it has been recently noticed that he's committing to OpenBSD.

  Contributing to OpenBSD, not committing. He is not a committer.. yet.

    Apologies, I hadn't realised there were a distinction. What's the difference?

      I guess it's about having a direct commit access to their CVS tree.

        Precisely. OpenBSD developers have committed John's diffs.
