REASONABLE ????? Just kidding :-) Yes, for a trivial, non-impact change like this one, just commit it (after carefully checking that the patch does what it should, only that, and in the right way) and try to ignore the ensuing email-storm from people who have too much time on their hands. It's called "The Peter Principle", and everybody who feels an urge to comment on this email should spend a trip down to the local library first, and not reply until they have looked up, read and understood what "The Peter Principle" is about, and why there are never any bikesheds at an atomic plant. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
