I have one system that I've been maintaining/updating since the 2.X days and I feel it's time to nuke it and start over. +1 for a=20 non-smp system and SMP system. That said, I think the value of having both KSE and SMPng in 5.0 is HUGE and I think there is probably a large number of people that would be willing to endure kernel panics, dumps, etc. because the value (in terms of technological accomplishment and saleability in the corporate space) would be absolutely worth the bumpy road. -CURRENT isn't worth tracking unless the dumps, bugs, etc are all going toward both SMPng and KSE. If there are grave concerns about having KSE and SMPng in 5.X, then why not push back the release date? The value far outweighs the extra months needed to get it finished and out the door, but what do I know, I'm just a quiet kernel by standard making an observation. -sc --=20 Sean Chittenden --oLBj+sq0vYjzfsbl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Sean Chittenden <sean@chittenden.org> iEYEARECAAYFAjuKrhAACgkQn09c7x7d+q2ENQCg2yQbc4djAOgy/OvVLr8PhdIe NWAAn1Ro1+3tQs9V1s10GxMfSX8Y4UuK =v6Bc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --oLBj+sq0vYjzfsbl-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
