It strikes me that, although some code cleanup may be called for, a week is too agressive a deadline for many of them to be pushed through, especially in light of the code maintenance issue on the KAME side. I suggest that we look at a more gradual approach, as there's no rush right now for 5.0-RELEASE, and attempt to address technical issues one at a time (rather than a mega-patch). This would allow changes to be integrated as necessary into the KAME tree one-by-one, allow synchronization with code on other platforms, and allow the resolution of any technical problems to be done in a manner that all consumers of the KAME code can accept. Increasing the differences between the FreeBSD and KAME trees will only serve to exacerbatese these difficilties, especially in light of other changes coming in on the FreeBSD side (such as fine-grained locking). We benefit a great deal from the work performed by the KAME team, and I think I speak for everyone on the FreeBSD side when I say that we certainly wish to continue to be able to take advantage of the KAME IP stack work :-).
