It looks like Sam Leffler did a version-bump in param.h on Sun May 29 at 19:15:34 2005 UTC, for the import of libpcap + tcpdump. That version-bump is shortly after my change (which was done on Sat May 28 at 22:42:41 2005 UTC). So that version bump should be fine for my change. A fortunate coincidence for me! Sam did not update doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/book.sgml to document that version bump, so I'm not sure if he has a separate commit in the wings for that, or if he arranged with someone from the doc group to update it. So, I haven't tried to update the docs yet, but obviously we need to have an entry added the handbook. I'm also not too sure how much detail should be put into the entry for the porters-handbook. I have the very detailed explanation sitting in http://people.freebsd.org/~gad/Updating-20050528.txt , but I'm not sure what would be best for the various places where this change should be documented.
