Now would be the time to make major changes to the layout of the GENERIC kernel config, if we were ever going to do so. Otherwise, we're probably stuck with what we've got until RELENG_6. If the NOTES information really is better organized than GENERIC, I would say that it would be a good idea to re-order the latter to more closely follow the former, and the sooner we get this change made and committed, the better. In short, I'm with Quincy and not buying a word you're saying. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
