Erm, if it wasn't documented in the first place, making a change doesn't put the burden of documenting the old behavior on the person making the change. Are there any kernel manpages for all of the oldcard and newcard API's floating around btw? (As an example.) I agree it should be documented, but just because Peter made the change doesn't mean that the onus that the people who originally did buildkernel didn't bother to document it in places like make.conf(5) should fall on Peter. > Warner -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.Baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
