My plans had always been to back out Green's change (with Green's
permission, btw) when there was a patch that could grok things. The
back out wouldn't be MFC'd until after at least one release. Since
this was historical FreeBSD behavior, and modern patches grok the end
of line things, I see this as a no brainer: just do it once patch is
patched :-)
