It's possible that I'll have to delay the commit simply because I'm too busy to get to it, but at least for right now that is my target date...

I think that what I'm going to for this is to commit it as I have it right now (keep the present "warning-only" behavior), and then commit a second commit to change that to a "fatal error" behavior. I'll probably also break out the '-g' change to a separate update, so I'll have one big update which should be "completely backwards compatible", and then two tiny updates which change make the minor incompatible changes. If I do that right, the big update could eventually be MFC'ed to 4.x. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
