And I would have MFC'ed the bug fix the moment RELENG_6 was unfrozen. I'm not arguing that committing the fix to all the active RELENG_* branchs isn't a good idea. Nor have I said I wouldn't do it. The issue is you're essentially requiring me to MFC thru a code freeze (the process can be too heavy weight) before I could work on HEAD - a requirement that hasn't existed before and isn't written down anywhere. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
