Or, does this happen when it goes RC? > What would you expect this option to cover ? I'd assume that no ABI[0] have been broken between FreeBSD 8 and FreeBSD 9. If ABI had been broken, the developer should have been responsible enough to create the proper compatibility shim and would already have introduced COMPAT_FREEBSD9. Of course, this leaves options for ABI being broken, compatibility shim introduced, but COMPAT_FREEBSD9 not introduced :) - Arnaud [0]: all the mentions of "ABI" exclude KVM. > Ta > Peg > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org= " >
