And just to calm down anybody who's getting nervous now, this is not happening quite yet :-) After the next branch of -current, be it before/after 5.0-R or 5.1-R, and provided nothing terminal pops up in the meantime: I will commit the following changes: DEVFS: 1. DEVFS will become standard (ie: no disabling option). 2. Remove cdevsw_add() and cdevsw_remove() and makedev(). 3. major/minors will be dynamically assigned. GEOM: 1. GEOM will become standard (ie: no disabling options). 2. Legacy code will be removed. -- 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.
