The reason I don't think it will be merged is because RE and/or security officer probably don't believe it fits the criteria for merging into a releng branch, which typically only receive security and errata updates. That said, because it did get merged into stable/10, it will be included in releng/10.2. I merged the patch from stable/10 into our internal development branches so that it would be available in our internal distributions. It was caught in time so that we did not have to go to great lengths to get it deployed. It was simply a matter of compiling the distribution. For systems already installed it is necessary to apply the patch to the sources and recompile and reinstall base. -- Take care Rick Miller
