I doubt it will make it into 5.3. This isn't really a bug fix (yet). I posted a thread in arch@ about it and every response was enthusiastic, so I imagine it will be committed to 6-CURRENT. Once I have a chance to cleanup the rest of the diskless helper scripts it could be added to RELENG_5 because it will be a bug fix (since our provided scripts are heavily out of date for building diskless root's). It's definately too late to have /stand be removed as part of the 5.3 process, although this is where I plan to head once I remove diskless systems from depending on /stand. However, that doesn't mean people won't be able to remove /stand, just that it won't be automated. Just remember, you'll have to rebuild your NFS mounted root partition (or just copy /bin/gzip to it). And after you can also remove /usr/bin/gzip to clean up your system. -- Ryan Sommers ryans@gamersimpact.com
