Keep it: it's already in and backing it out will inconvenience as many as keeping it in. Changes like this in a "stable" branch are unsettling, but now that it is in, I think it's more productive to document the change and corrective procedure in the README.TXT _and_ in the upgrade section of INSTALL.TXT. I looked at both from yesterdays snap and saw no mention in either. If I was not following this list, I would have been nailed to the wall with the change. If I were a new user -- or building a fresh install, I doubt I would have noticed. -- Jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
