Right, that was pointed out to me in "that other channel". Considering that, I'm in favour if killing the i386 cpu support entirely in -current. There is at least a full year until the first semi-reliable 5.0 release is a possibility. 4.x-stable as at least two years in it yet. I think it's the time to throw i386 over the railing and lower the waterline a fair bit on -current. -- 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.
