Fine with me as well. Should we make it a warning on RELENG_6 and an error on HEAD, or a warning on both. The former being be what I was planning to do, ie. remove support for "NO" in HEAD but issue a message saying semantics have changed. The latter would mean identical code in both HEAD and RELENG_6 (so "NO"-compatibility in both branches), but we'd need a reminder to remove this "NO"-support in HEAD once RELENG_7 is branched. --=20 Florent Thoumie flz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD Committer --------------enig5E80D3757FBED01672C33A4F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFy7KmMxEkbVFH3PQRCmK4AJ9Kll/nStdtq4bJj7/DOWXrPERuVwCePPRv 995tN2tSqMK/JfKTcq+27W8= =tBI1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig5E80D3757FBED01672C33A4F--
