Great. I got quite excited when Mark Murray made noises about cleansing the userland source code of __P(). I think the original idea was to do it for HEAD only, to avoid unnecessary deltas for RELENG_4 cvsup users. Since 5.0-RELEASE has been delayed, it probably doesn't make sense for the purge to happen until the advent of the RELENG_5 branch. We don't want gratuitous diffs like this making merges onto RELENG_4 difficult. Ciao, Sheldon.
