While those are logical mailing lists for this topic to have come up on, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that there are many freebsd users and committers who are not on those lists. Many people who do know about the existing COMPAT_FREEBSD* variables, and thus will be surprised at this variable name. My understanding is that there has already been a lot of furor over this name, so let me first say I don't mean to infuriate anyone. However, my own vote would be for some other name than COMPAT_FREEBSD32. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosehn@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
