The following reply was made to PR misc/32760; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Robert Watson <rwatson@freebsd.org> To: Alan E <alane@geeksrus.net> Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: misc/32760: Please MFC /usr/include/malloc.h to -STABLE. Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2001 14:27:21 -0500 (EST) While I'm not opposed to such a change in general, I think doing this before 4.5-RELEASE would be very bad idea, as it would dramatically increase the "make ports work" work-load before the release. Doing this after 4.5-RELEASE sounds like a reasonable idea.
