It is now (I added the last line).  Note that careful study of the
mail in question, not all that hard to find, will show the
implications.

20000612:
	Peter took an axe to config(8).  Be sure that you read his mail
	on the topic before even thinking about updating.  You will
	need to create a /boot/device.hints or add a hints directive
	to your config file to compile them in statically.  The format
	of the config file has changed as well.  Please see GENERIC or
	NEWCARD for examples of the new format.

	Indirectly, this also breaks USERCONFIG
