Just so we could have it in 5.x, instead of the stated plan of waiting until 6.x. I do not feel strongly about it, other than to say that it'd be nice if this was part of 5.x, and I don't know if we want to switch to rewrite of 'sort' at this point in 5.x. *Someday* we've got to stop dropping in major changes to 5.x, and get serious about releasing it as -stable so we can start on 6.x-current. Just my 2 cents. I don't feel strongly about it. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
