That's junk. I'll tell what is NOT junk. What isn't junk are things like John's more complex patch to kern_descrip.c. There's real work involved there that can be salvaged, and which can be committed to the -current piecemeal if Giant is properly instrumented. The biggest problem is that all of this stuff is sitting in P4 and none of it belongs there. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
