Using the strategy "commit to -current then suffer the fallout" is pretty bogus. I don't understand why some form of compatibility or #define wasn't thought out before hand. This stands out like "fixing select" to record time elapsed into the timevals, POSIX'ly correct, but incorrect for FreeBSD, without more thought. * Andrey Chernov <ache@FreeBSD.org> [070430 18:07] wrote: > On Tue, May 01, 2007 at 04:59:42AM +0400, Roman Kurakin wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Since there is some noise around this, could we just scream for a while > > that code should be fixed but allow it to still work?
