Nope. The PR was left open to indicate that an MFC is still required,
and that there were style issues (raised by bde) surrounding my commit.
The code has been changed such that Bruce can tolerate it, so the PR
remains in the "analyzed" state awaiting an MFC.

It appears to have been wise to hold off on an MFC, because Chris
Costello has raised an objection to my violation of the OpenGroup Single
UNIX specification.

See the subject line "ls(1) options affecting -l long format" on the
freebsd-hackers mailing list.  At this stage, I'm standing by my
violation of the spec, awaiting criticism. When that issue's resolved,
the -n option can be merged into stable (although another week in
CURRENT wouldn't hurt).

Later,
Sheldon.
