	Well, what about FreeBSD getting "fixed" too?
	As this change poses a big change on the way things work, I guess this
should be decided by the core team members. If I could vote, I would vote
for fixing and I would make sure this difference would be very well
documented in the handbook, man and faqs.
	Guys, your call. It's up to your decision.

	Regards,
		Mario Ferreira.
