I firmly belive that only things which ship as FreeBSD-%d.%d-RELEASE should have the AJ options turned off. We want both our own code and 3rd party code to find the bugs in a DP release rather than in a RELEASE. Put a prominent notice in the release note, put a pointer to the recent libz scare if you feel like, and say that since this is about trying out and testing, we have set these options to help people flush out bugs. The steady trickle of emails I receive about things exposed by AJ is a clear indication that we need it on as much as possible. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
