If you install using sysinstall then they are. Have you actually read the diffs and commit messages? If you're upgrading to -current using the source code then they're not. But that's fine, because if you're running -current then you're reading the -current mailing list, and you'll have seen the HEADS UP message that was posted about this. If you're running -stable then it's a non-issue, as these changes haven't been merged. > I know this is currently in "current", but won't this eventually > make it to stable? Maybe. I would have thought that's unlikely though. However, even if it is, there'll be a HEADS UP posted to this mailing list, so you'll be aware that it's an issue.

Thinking before posting, priceless. Somethings in life you can't buy.
