https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211579 --- Comment #4 from Sevan Janiyan <venture37@geeklan.co.uk> --- (In reply to Maxim Konovalov from comment #3) Apologies, it's in the addition to cat.1 introduced in r83482, not in the commit message itself. > There is a non-zero probability that people are using this particular feature in their scripts and removing it will break backward compatibility with no particular reason. I would argue that seeing as a major branch is about it be cut, now would be the time to evaluate such a change, it would be quite some time before it made it into a major release and would fish out some active participants who are users of the feature. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
