All I am saying here is that the BSDI SMP merge work will turn the
MP build into a moving target for the next month at least, and it
wouldn't be a very good use of time trying to keep the alpha build
in sync for the MP build until after the API's have settled down. The
SP build is another story... I expect those API's to settle down within
a week.
