I'm not sure this is a good thing.
This is hiding problems

for example..
the people who changed the PCI interface were to lazy to upgrade tghe fore
driver to work in -current. Not unsurprisingly,
there are no fore users using -current (I have no  idea about 4.x but
certainly in -current thre are none). it should be up to whoever changed
the API for PCI devices to fix it, not just hide it.


I know that this is not new... someone already 
comment3ed out the entire file fore_load.c, but it's a chicken and egg
thing. If we don't have working drivers (and I'm not sure how to write a
PCI driver these days, so how would an end user be expected to fix this?)
then we don;t get users for those drivers.

it should be up to people who break interfaces to fix (or at least try 
arrange the fixing of) the things they broke.
