Might as well move /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC to the attic while you are at it. It can serve it's purpose from there, too. Is there a compelling reason for doing this, other than "I want to make some API/locking change, but I don't want to have to keep this code working at the same time"? Maximizing bit-rot in order to avoid effort is a bad thing, particularly when it's done by the person who is making the change that causes the rot: that person is the person most qualified in the world to correct the bit-rot (or prevent it from happening), in that they have the best understanding of *why* their change broke something. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
