From what I gather David already has things ready and is just waiting for Sunday to come to commit the changes. Committing them now gives much of the people who will work to fix things that get broken a whole day more this weekend to work on them. This isn't 'dufus engineering' it is called advancing the state-of-the-art. It has been a long time coming and needs to be done, sooner than later. Just because the compiler changes doesn't mean development on the 4.0 branch have to stop. We need to get this change in the hands of as many people as we can so that we can work out any remaining hitches. Waiting another 24 hours == wasting another 24 hours, IMHO. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
