There is absolutely no reason to leave the tree in a broken state this long. The tree should NEVER be left in a broken state by a commit when the brokedness is known immediately, as it is here. Do you really think it is appropriate to commit something to the tree that blows developers up (on top of something that is already blowing developers up), then spend a week debating how to do it right without either (a) backing out the commit or (b) committing a stopgap workaround while you debate the issue? I sure don't. If that's your attitude then maybe we should backout ALL the work... revert it all the way back to 4.2. If you don't commit *something* by sunday evening, I AM going to commit a stopgap. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
