Sorry to follow myself up, but I wanted to clarify something that may have left an incorrect impression. Your question is broken; my changes are *not* for a "new framework"; they are, instead, fixes to make the framework behave in accordance with it's design document. The initial move to the Heidemann framework in the 4.4BSD-Lite code was a rush job; it is very obvious that the code had been, for lack of a better word, "pounded" into the kernel. The changes are only intended to restore documented functionality and compliance with the original design intent, which was damaged in the integration. Since there is no longer a big legal pressure for hasty integration, it seems to me that it's time to correct the things which were done in haste and out of necessity, rather than for reasons of technical merit. In any case, if you believe that I have been "rewriting the world for the sake of rewriting the world", you are mistaken.
