I am concerned that the current plans appear to have both mpsafetty and usb4bsd committed at virtually the same time. With the best will in the world, it's still likely that one or both imports will have some rough edges. IMHO, there should be a reasonable period between major kernel subsystem upheavals to allow things to stabilise. Having both a new USB stack and a new TTY subsystem would appear to make it unnecessarily difficult to identify the cause of USB serial port issues. --=20 Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. --gDGSpKKIBgtShtf+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkirys0ACgkQ/opHv/APuIfMCACdH3VJIjAEt1E2TPVdvZA+uz0r se8An2FPXWLmd525j2138tnGfU/b2kAR =tolJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gDGSpKKIBgtShtf+--
