But this particular change is gratuitous. Do not merge it > to -STABLE, please. Instead, wait for 4.6. What's the hurry? To me it sounds like a much better idea to MFC it now than just before a release. If it is merged now then there is plenty of time to find and fix any problems that might pop up. Right before a release is not the time to do that. My understanding is that in general big changes should happen as long before a -RELEASE as possible precisely to weed out any problems. So, if it is OK to have this in 4.6-RELEASE, then I really don't understand what the would be with having it added now. As I understand it the emphasis is usually to have upgrades from one -RELEASE to the next -RELASE be smooth and painless. People who track -STABLE on a daily basis are supposed to read the stable@ list and read /usr/src/UPDATING and thus will be aware of this change. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
