The traditional reasons it's still around amount to: 1. Some people actually use it. 2. The code has kernel bits (thus it's hard to port, not sure how true this is). 3. It's easier to keep in synch if it's in the tree, since people will see it get broken. Personally I'd like to see the people who care about this code get together and solve the porting problems. I agree that it has no place in the tree. Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
