Support for FreeBSD4 ended in 2007, I think it is exaggerated to put COMPAT_FREEBSD4 in the GENERIC or MINIMAL kernel configs by default. I propose to remove COMPAT_FREEBSD4, COMPAT_FREEBSD5, COMPAT_FREEBSD6, COMPAT_FREEBSD7 and COMPAT_FREEBSD8 from those files. I could not think of a reason to keep those options enabled by default, I'm only seeing possible security vulnerabilities. (For example, HardenedBSD disabled those COMPAT* options other than COMPAT_FREEBSD10 for security reasons: see https://github.com/HardenedBSD/hardenedBSD/blob/hardened/current/master/sys= /amd64/conf/HARDENEDBSD) Thanks for hearing me out :P --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
