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.

Precisely. OpenBSD developers have committed John's diffs.
