This is -VERY- good news. I just have two questions:
1. Which currently broken filesystems in STABLE become usable with
these fixes?
2. Do you have any wild-assed guess as to how long the approval and
MFC are likely to take? (I.e., When might it be available in -STABLE)
(I chose the word 'guess' carefully - I know better than to rely
on any such prediction. Nevertheless, a ballpark estimate would
help me decide whether to consider delaying a project I'm starting
until those fixes are in.)
Thanks,
-Pat
