Darren, don't sweat it. Bruce is our resident extremist (I think it's something in the water down there in Australia ;) and doesn't always express opinions which echo that of the other FreeBSD developers. It's also valuable to have an extremist around sometimes but that doesn't mean we slavishly follow every position they take, just the ones which take us in interesting new directions or keep hair growth to a minimum in the tree. I seriously doubt that __FreeBSD__ or any of its points of usage are going away anytime soon in the tree, regardless of how bde might feel about it. - Jordan
