But this seems to come up, oh, about every year or so, and a big impediment to moving forward seems to be divergence of what's in the base system from what was done in the vendor import. That shouldn't a showstopper (look at the recent gcc-3.1 import to -CURRENT), but nobody's done it yet. I'm pretty sure it won't happen for 4.6-RELEASE. :-) Bruce.
