I think anyone who has an Alpha is affected, but I'd like to hear from people who have Alpha in production. -current will become -stable and that's where the pain is felt eventually. I don't think that the -current users are necessarily the right people to make the decision. It probably applies double for me... So far I've only heard that's not worth the trouble, but I'm not convinced that avoiding any changes on the Alpha is less trouble. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
