No, it is not useless. It used to work perfectly. However we are now in a phase, as with 3-STABLE and 4-CURRENT, that we have significant changes in the system which impose a rather heavy burden on the developers to keep both systems working the way it should. For example, we now have the spls are worthless in CURRENT since they're no-ops, which means they might get overlooked easily when doing MFC's. I think someone already made that unfortunate mistake. Furthermore, although I am happy to see the work on SMPng being done, we have had, or at least I, weeks in which I was chasing down bugs in the system itself before I could even start work on the things I wanted to work on. Although I am still a bit reluctant to say it, I am starting to see more and more truth in Matthew Dillon's statement that for anything non-SMPng related 4-STABLE might be a more worthwhile development system at present. And I am sure you all can follow all the lines of thought emerging from these statements in both the pro and con ways. -- Jeroen Ruigrok vd Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl|freebsd.org] Documentation nutter/C-rated Coder BSD: Technical excellence at its best D78D D0AD 244D 1D12 C9CA 7152 035C 1138 546A B867 I'm a child of the air, I'm a witch of the wind...
