Also if more platforms are added and have more hardware specific code added, its more logical to goto src/sys/ARCH to look through the tree for stuff fot he machine, whereas in the 2nd case I assume there would just be more ARCH things throught the tree as opposed to trying to keep them together . --- E-Mail: Luke Sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
