I won't distract from new thread "Unfortunate dynamic linking for everything" except to note: > It is not fair to pretend > that this was some kind of back-room, closed-door decision. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that. I meant: - Current@ readers (that decide things), may have different skill levels & preference of balance between risk & function, compared with other user groups EG perhaps on hackers@ &/or isp@ etc. - Some admins don't read @freebsd.org lists, to comment on the fully dynamic decision, but will later install default systems `out of the box', with later subsequent remote upgrades. - Any extra later danger / limitation to them could affect FreeBSD reputation. > If you personally are worried about the new setup, then just use > the switch which gives you the previous setup.
