Cutting down the hardware support we already have, is never a good thing. However, if I got it right, the commit log does not refer to -RELEASE, or -STABLE branches. It's just for 5.0-CURRENT, that the wd driver is gone. The -CURRENT branch always was a bit dangerous thing to follow, thus it's not strange that it might break after a while, get fixed, and repeat the whole thing a few times. - Giorgos Keramidas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
