Recently I did a make world and by terminal server was dead for a day! the recent pppd change in pap-secrets did it and the back incompatability is documented, yes, but buried so that it isn't obvious. How would people feel about my setting up something where people are expected to add a note whenever they commit something which creates a back incompatability so that we have something to scan before a make world? I would envisage it being located in the handbook with a table such as: DATE OF CHANGE | TOOLS AFFECTED | HOW TO TEST FOR INCOMPAT | FIX where fix would typically be a ref to appropriate part of man page Comments?
