I agree completely with what Sam is saying here.  I don't see why this
had to be done at the time it was done (WRT a code freeze), and without
any discussion about adding it to FreeBSD.  I also agree that it won't
be keeping me up at night, because I'm about to go on vacation for 10-12
days here.  But as Warner noted,   "this leaves a bad taste in everybody's
mouth, even if at the end of the day you get your way"
