I hope yes since this was not the past agreement. http://tinyurl.com/3fraz (http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=177270+0+archive/2002/freebsd-arch /20020609.freebsd-arch) In the past versions of this conversation, the general agreement is that going forward we should probably standardize on underscores to seperate words. So, NO_FOO rather than NOFOO. However, no_volunteer has come forward to do the work you've described, so if you're volunteering.... I'd volunteer w/ "Ruslan Ermilov" and even do the job. > > it provide a patch set to change all NOFOO variables to NO_FOO. > > This goes in a direction that I disagree with, and it even changes all > of the old mostly-internal variables like NOMAN.
