P.S. I think that there's much traction to the idea of moving from COMPAT_FREEBSDx to some other variable called, for example, COMPAT_FREEBSD_BACK_TO=x, which will give compatibility for binaries as old as FreeBSD x.0, and have all the other magic handled behind the scenes. This would render the inconsistency with COMPAT_FREEBSDx part of the debate completely moot. Warner
