This was actually a concern I expressed in that thread: we've gone completely off the rails several times before in an attempt to get a Grand Architecture for FreeBSD Decomposition. A few useful knobs sometimes goes a long way, and is far more practical. I think we should block the introduction of useful knobs (especially install-knobs vs. build-knobs) on waiting for xmlBSD. :-) Robert N M Watson FreeBSD Core Team, TrustedBSD Projects robert@fledge.watson.org Network Associates Laboratories
