Will this be MFCed? It would be nice to have in 7-STABLE. I seen that commit; however, I would rather see it somewhere other than just CURRENT. Especially if we will be changing the recommendation of using cvsup in favor of csup. It has come a long way, and I use it, but apparently it is not yet a drop in replacement. Until then, this, and the PR about it (something.README?) should remain as-is. :) Thanks! -- Tom Rhodes
