Exactly my point :-) >=20 Using OSVERSION (kern.osreldate) is the big pessimization in assuming that the userland (share/mk in particular) is of the same date as the running kernel. Using OSVERSION from /usr/include/osreldate.h is the lesser pessimization and that is what I plan to use as a fine-grained replacement for BOOTSTRAPPING hacks in /usr/src.
