Given that we're about to 'release' FreeBSD, a change that affects a
critical part of the system that is not a bugfix should never be
committed since it might break something.
It is being ignored *because* it's too late to commit a fix that isn't
necessary and has potentially 'huge' destablizing possibilities.
