I think that we have to realize that one cannot be a little bit pregnant and just go for it. Few if any of us would have the time to play with the stuff if it's in a separate tree. If it gets put into -current, then we'll bloddy have to run it :-) Remember a lot of things have been put on "hold until lite2 is in" and I don't think that is really a good thing to extend that hold. So, if you can boot your code, and it generally holds up for more than 20 minutes between panics, commit it, and life will go on albeit a little bit bumpy for the next couple of days/weeks. Should peter want to put a tag right before the import, just in case, I'm not against it, but waiting doesn't work. We've been there, done that, and it just never stops! -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
