I expressed my doubt about the utility and the timeliness of the availability of the code, actually. This is slightly different than doubting that they would hand code over at all (though so far, we have only hearsay on that matter, even if I personally credit the sources, since there has been no public statement by the coder). I think the soft updates stuff being done, as it was described to me, is not terribly useful to FreeBSD. The login.conf stuff, especially the ability to run BSDi bianries for the authentication modules, strikes me as a hell of a lot more useful (and a much more pressing need).
