It is fine with me if we leave the delay as it is for 5.3-release. I would hope we could lower it in time for 5.4-release, and not have to wait until 6.0! >However, before I go changing a whole bunch of identical lines in >nearly identical GENERIC files, I'd like to see GENERIC get split >into several sub-modules that live in /sys/conf and can be included >instead of constantly duplicated. >i.e. > >/sys/conf: >/SCSI >/BLOCK >/NIC >/USB >/FIREWIRE > >etc. >Thoughts? "We" could at least start on this. Break out SCSI, and see how many bikesheds we will build before everyone is happy with that. The "we" means that I have no immediate plans to tackle this... I have no objection to the idea, but I am busy with other projects right now. If we can not sort out the files in time for 5.4-release, then I'll certainly be willing to edit all the kernel files to change '15' to '5' or '6'. I'm willing to do that (in HEAD) right now... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
