But I must still caution that due to the extensive nature of the cleanup, despite being mostly internal to the kernel, there could very well be other things that we have overlooked which might still cause problems with third party modules that aren't recompiled. The real answer has changed from "There will be problems" to "There may be problems". -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
