The 5000 series patches for 'experimental'. I don't remember any 50000
non-exportable patches, though by that time Rod and Jordan were doing
the patchkit.
Let me go dig on my box to make sure. Sigh, I remember that when I
upgraded to 2.1 I backed all of my patchkit stuff onto tape. I still
have the patchkit generation software there. Someday when FreeBSD is
*huge* and everyone is running it, I'll sell my box for a million
dollars with all of the software on it. *grin*

Rod might remember this, I'm Cc'ing him on this to see if he remembers.
