I agree that we should make the switch in -STABLE immediately after
FreeBSD 4.5 is released. Every other x86 Unix I've been exposed to
has been using X4 for over a year. The arguments about older
supported hardware do not hold water any more since X4 supports so
many newer chipsets out of the box that X336 can't handle.
