No. The current rule is that we're not removing $FreeBSD$ as we touch files. The plan is to remove it wholesale in the future. This gives maximum flexibility because stable/12 is still built out of svn and you never know what might get MFC'd there. > For new files, is > it expected that useless $FreeBSD$ tags should be added? > If you plan to or expet to merge the new file to stable/12, then yes. Otherwise omit $FreeBSD$. Most new files won't likely be merged to 12 and even if you make an error in judgement and a new file without $FreeBSD$ is merged to 12, the impact is going to be minimal.
