The following reply was made to PR misc/20808; it has been noted by GNATS.

Support for : dead kernels was mostly in libkvm and was lost when we downgraded to : using only sysctl to read kernel info. Support for netstat's -m on dead : kernels was lost in the corresponding downgrade in netstat. So is it OK to commit the "Hey stupid don't do that" fix?
