I happen to prefer unified diffs because they are easier for me to fix tab->space expansions among other things. My personal preference only. > Am I missing something ? No, I just thought since we are going to change the wording to submit diffs via send-pr instead of -hackers that if enough people seemed to prefer uni-diffs over context-diffs that we should all also change that. We (I) will accept diffs in any format. I will do my best to get them all submitted. Human nature dictates that I take the easiest first and public opinion of FreeBSD makes me take the hottest first no matter what form/shape they arrive in.
