What does KSE break, which used to work on these platforms? It's not like CAM (to pick an older example that has less emotion bound up in it), where every SCSI driver that hadn't already been CAM-ified at the time of the import, broke. When KSE doesn't work, you lose only new features, not old ones, right? Isn't complaining about this on sparc64/ia64/alpha kind of like complaining about someone adding 4M page support to i386, but not adding the same thing to other platforms? -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
