Ah, but the problem is that submit_enable, outbound_enable and
msp_queue_enable were new additions on the RELENG_4 branch, so the user
expectations of interest are those of users tracking -STABLE, not those
upgrading from -STABLE to -CURRENT.

From the beginning, this whole thing has been about a POLA violation on
the -STABLE branch.

That said, what's done is done, and it's unlikely that any further
changes are going to improve the situation.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
