I'd like them all to be done and to be consistant. I'd also like to do the same for RELENG_4 and probably even RELENG_3 so that we don't have MFC issues. /sys/boot is a special case since it's *expressly* not cpp'ed - we could leave that alone IMHO if that's preferable to the folks who live in that space - so long as it's the same across branches where the code lives. I will volunteer effort to make this happen on the older branches if nobody else will do it. (I have other urgent things I'm supposed to be spending my time on, but this does need to be consistant) Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
