We actually have a whole module dependancy and versioning system more or 
less ready to go into -current.  It could have gone in for 4.0, but we 
wouldn't have had time to test it.  I would avoid rolling anything 
half-assed at this point in time.

BTW; whilst I think Poul was entirely the wrong person to raise the 
issue, I agree that you probably want to hang back on MFCing the linux 
scripting changes for a week or so.  This is really just common sense.
