It would seem to me -- given the types of things that were addressed in
the 4.x generational release -- that keeping the 3.x kernel supported
would be a Good Thing to do for PicoBSD. I have a live project for which
I desire a small DRAM and flash disk footprint, so the kernel size is an
issue. The actual version I am needing is the full ppp/ssh client dialup
system, although I'll have a FLASH disk which is substantially larger
than a 1.44M floppy.

I'd be honored to build and verify your changes on the different build
versions. I do track 3.5-STABLE on a fairly regular basis (1 - 2 weeks),
and if I can do this for the Project it'll make up for my lack of coding
contributions. :-) I can upgrade a smaller machine to 4.x-stable so I'll
have the ability to track your changes in parallel. Now, if I could just
get them to finish my T-1 install...
