The feature A legit concern, but also realize that all of us are talking about 4.0 here - the new compiler would be an issue we'd have up to a full year on before the product it's in goes mainstream. If that's not enough time to work out the compiler issues after switching, I can't imagine when we WILL have a better time to try and do this then. Progress entails some pain, and if we're unwilling to suffer any at all then progress ceases entirely. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
