This makes business sense but... # This part of build should be regarded as deprecated and you should _not_ # expect to be able to do this past the release of 3.1. You have exactly # one major release to move entirely to elf. and loosely "FreeBSD is not going to be a pick your binary format system," stated by sources unremembered. Based on the above, I have already -DNOAOUTed my entire system. I hope it's trivial to put AOUT support back in. I am really looking forward to trying Applixware as a better alternative to StarOffice. 3.0 _is_ RELEASE. Maybe we should treat it as such. I get the feeling the 3.0-RELEASE is the redheaded step child of the FreeBSD world. "Sure we put it on our web page but you might want to run 2.2.8 instead."
