Subject:   Remove non-FreeBSD code from fs's
Message-ID:  <XFMail.011105121004.jhb@FreeBSD.org>

Would there be any objection to removing all the non-FreeBSD code (such as the
#ifdef NetBSD stuff) from hpfs, smbfs, nwfs, and the like?  We have already
drastically broken compatibility with other BSD's by replacing simple locks
with mutexes and the KSE changes.  When I talked to Julian about this in
regards to the KSE changes, he said that NetBSD wasn't using the same versions
of the files and had already removed all the non-NetBSD stuff from their
versions.  At this point the non-FreeBSD code has bitrotted and serves to
obfuscate more than anything else.  Comments?
