This use of the release notes bothers me a teensy bit. The problem is that after the release (and we go to 4.7-STABLE), I clear out all of the release notes entries. (By definition they only contain information that's changed from one release to another.) So these little tidbits that you've been adding are going to disappear. If this type of information is persistent across multiple releases, I'd put it in the hardware notes instead. Otherwise, when 4.8 comes around, you're going to wind up adding it again. Bruce. PS. That being said, I'd rather have problems like this documented *somewhere* than not at all. --==_Exmh_-1086931746P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.5+ 20020506 iD8DBQE9mJ/S2MoxcVugUsMRAi3SAJ4jmv/GW2ostGdk/UDypkYfqfhqEwCg3b6V 3ID1qaVFMa9mvA2BzdOi6HY= =+m9y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-1086931746P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
