I haven't been following this thread, so I may have missed something here, but the comment above rang some alarms. Does any of this affect people who simply install a RELEASE from CD and then build a kernel to get their config the way they want? I'm assuming it doesn't, but I got worried by what you said here. Like lots of people who use FreeBSD rather than tinker with it, I have never done "make any-kind-of-world" and never expect to. I create a kernel config with my stuff in it, and do config, make, make install. I trust this is not going to be broken?
