Is _best_ for kernel and world to perfectly mate but realistically the only time they really do is on -RELEASE. Proof? The recent "oops" when -stable kernel would no longer compile. Another case in point: we don't go rebuilding our installed ports every time we update our kernel, do we? Ports are not that much different than world. Then again there are those parts of world which communicate in unique ways with the kernel. In practical terms if you have already built world then a kernel only a couple of hours or days newer is probably not going to be a problem. Watch for HEADSUP on the -stable list. AFAIK -stable kernel would still work perfectly with 4.4-RELEASE world if not for recent changes in ipfw. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
