If there are a significant number of people that have strong opinions against something, then it's probably a change that shouldn't be made. >Are you going to "out-stubborn" me again? I don't think you understand: I understand your position on this and the benefits as you've articulated them are very clear. I simply disagree with you on this topic. My opinion is that I don't like what it does to the sources (adding lots of redundant and usually useless assertions), nor do I like the style (macroized condition expressions). My opinion on this isn't going to change, and I'm not the only core member who has this opinion. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
