I'd like to change the default format to -u (or even -c if that : is more popular). Opinions? I'd love to see the default format changed to -u (since most people have learned to read it, but there are a few vocal exceptions). I worry that it will break scripts, cvs, etc. What is the impact of doing this? Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
