Chris already has a patch for doing the physical shuffling of bits around up for review, and the other non-whitespace changes he has already done, so it shouldn't take him very long to get those checked in either. However, best to let Chris say what kind of timeline he expects. > On the other hand, once the reorg starts to hit the tree, it's pretty > impossible to get fixes to questions included into the release (without > also included the first stage of the reorg). I think that the reorg might very well be done before the release now that the release is pushed back. If we only had one week until release, I would agree with this, but I think we have the time, however, I don't feel too strongly about this. > /s/Udo > -- > He could be a poster child for retroactive birth control. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
