Since that had been the one thing viewed as a show-stopper and the release cycle has already dragged on a fair bit longer than expected we'll be moving into the Release Candidate stage very quickly, and the chances of something like this making it into 6.2 are very small I'm afraid. If well tested patches against RELENG_6 can be made within the next couple of days and as long as they are very self-contained (don't wind up touching other drivers much if at all) we'll consider letting it into RELENG_6 before we branch for the release but it might be best to just let this slide for 6.2 and MFC it after the release. Like I said above we've already slipped the release schedule a fair bit, if it hadn't been for a handful of big problems we would have released already and this stuff would have come along too late anyway. :-) --=20 Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | --=-LfZtzeve26n7y4ohCjII Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBFVdtG/G14VSmup/YRAtGoAJ4r8mrtgLDnO7oGyrZpGwwXFln3jQCgmLmv Iqfr9fv8IukAhgtkgkQ9usc= =QPfR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-LfZtzeve26n7y4ohCjII--
