Well, I can certainly understand that perspective. What would you say to one of the following compromises: a) We make a concerted effort to reproduce Mr Hartman's breakage and only retain the warning message if we or some reasonable proxy person manages to do so. b) We retain the warning but tone it down a lot, simply suggesting that it *might* hurt you if you used it. I would also welcome any suggestions on that wording. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
