:Is this another night of the Danish axes?  You know that we have
:serious problems with Vinum already, and a number seem to stem from
:your last changes.  You didn't even pass this by me.  How do you
:expect me to fix anything when you keep moving the target?  If you
:want to make these changes yourself, at least test the results and
:ensure that all known problems have been removed.
:
:I think we should add an item to the policy that changes of this
:magnitude should only be done with consensus.

:Greg

    B_ERROR is extremely important to buffer cache processing - specifically
    brelse(), it does NOT belong in the bio structure.
