To be blunt, the FILE * changes go too far, even for -current. Changes of this magnitude require a bump of the major number, even though we've already done that in -current. It breaks nearly everything, including the upgrade path. Alternatively, the locking changes need to be backed out. Alternatively, the upgrade path must be fixed. We've managed to avoid extra special instructions in the vast majority of cases, and I don't want to start introducing them now. It is the road to madness. We tried that once before and the support load was too high. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
