PAE MFC brought an incredible instability to stable branch. It affects 100% of our user community especially when we issued several SAs since PAE commit. They often can't switch to RELENG_4_x security branches because even RELENG_4_8 misses several critical non-security fixes. I believe stability was a critical feature of stable branch. Not PAE or anything alse. That is why I think we have to back out all that PAE code from stable. [5.x stuff] -- Maxim Konovalov, maxim@macomnet.ru, maxim@FreeBSD.org
