After reading the replies a bit, I'm going to suggest some middle ground. I think the changes should sit in stable for "a while", and while they are there we should make notes of it in a few different places and have people beat up on the changes with various tests. I think this is very good stuff, and that most of the people tracking RELENG4_4 would want it, but only if it is 210% fully tested and helps out 99.999% of all people. So let's verify both of those and then revisit the issue. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
