Maybe that's why there's resistance here (I can't figure > out any LOGICAL reason for resisting this necessary change.) Just that it's work, and it's work which does not need to be done right this second (so to speak). It will most likely be somewhat disruptive work. Perhaps we should consider it for FreeBSD 4.0, because (IMO) it does seem like a good thing to do "sometime". But right now we have other projects we should concentrate on and finish off (IMO) before opening this one up.
