Was it > solely a lack of interest or time, or have there been other reasons? There is no discussion in the audit trail, so I think it's most likely no committer ever looked that much at it. I took a brief look, and at the very least the patch is missing an update to the rc.conf manual page. I'm not entirely convinced the way the patch goes about creating the devices etc. is the best way to do it, but I don't see any obvious problems. That said, personally I unfortunately have too many other things on my plate to commit the patch. -- Simon L. Nielsen
