* I feel that it would have been far more appropriate to make a PORT of the * new patch to give the dust some time to settle rather than causing turmoil * in the base system. I personally believe the best thing would be to back * out the new patch ASAP. I agree. Right now there are two types of FreeBSD systems on the world; ones that generates diffs that the new patch can understand, and ones that can't. And the latter outnumbers the former at the ratio of probably something like 50:1. And then there are ports, and people's private patches that will suddenly stop working. IMO, we should back out the new patch in -current now, and wait at least until the next release with the "fixed" cvs before we re-enable it. There is no need to force hardship on our developers.
