I'm only speaking for myself here. If I have a "work in progress" there is only an extremely small chance that anyone else will make something conflict with it in that timeframe. In fact, I do have a work in progress with dd(1) right now, and the manpage change didn't mess it up at all. It's always a good idea to check with the maintainer for something, but speaking for myself alone, I simply don't have a problem with the manual pages are cleaned up. > -- > Ruslan Ermilov Sysadmin and DBA of the > ru@ucb.crimea.ua United Commercial Bank, > ru@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer, > +380.652.247.647 Simferopol, Ukraine > > http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve > http://www.oracle.com Enabling The Information Age -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
