Point taken. Though all I am saying is that I dont always know
what is up-to-date versus what is not.  I help maintain for several
parties who for various reasons may be running many different versions
and widely variing of the OS. I have noticed in the past that LINT
seemed to about the only place that "undocumented" options were documented.
It is unclear when "undocumented" options become more than just testbed stuff.
I certainly dont expect current's LINT to be up-to-date but 
perhaps in the RELEASES or such.

BTW: Take a look at ncr(4) versus the NCR options listed in current's LINT.

Also take all this with a :) Some of us kind of enjoy the hacking.
No, bitching intended if anyone is reading it that way.


Thank to all :)
