I think Kevin's implementation has gone more for the latter. Keeping the functionality as close as possible to what we now have is probably a nice idea. This way people that haven't worked with NetBSD a lot (including myself) can help in testing this, too. I'm sure that there are arguments supporting the second option, one of them being that it will make future changes easier to integrate in one of the BSD's reusing the same code. I would go for the second option, exactly because of this. The first option makes things nicer during the testing period, but testing is not going to last forever and having more compatibility among the BSD's in the future is something I seem to like more. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
