According to the 5-stable roadmap at 
	  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/5-roadmap/major-issues.html

   KSE kernel and userland components must be functionality complete
   by June 2003 in order to be included in the RELENG_5 branch. For
   security and stability reasons, if KSE cannot be finished in time
   then, by default, all KSE-specific syscalls should be modified to
   return ENOSYS and all other KSE-specific interfaces disabled.

By not depending on KSE infastructure, the 1:1 can still be available
in 5.1 in exactly the same fore regardless of whether or not KSE makes
the June deadline or not.
