Darren, don't sweat it.  Bruce is our resident extremist (I think it's
something in the water down there in Australia ;) and doesn't always
express opinions which echo that of the other FreeBSD developers.
It's also valuable to have an extremist around sometimes but that
doesn't mean we slavishly follow every position they take, just the
ones which take us in interesting new directions or keep hair growth
to a minimum in the tree.  I seriously doubt that __FreeBSD__ or any
of its points of usage are going away anytime soon in the tree,
regardless of how bde might feel about it.
