It is desirable that this is documented in the handbook and the filtering bridges article. I though that the Project guidelines stated that deprecated features had to be retained for a full major release but having checked the Committers' Guide, it's only required that they be retained until the next major release. This means that it's not essential that the handbook be updated before 6.0-RELEASE but it is desirable that the updates occur early in the 6.x-STABLE cycle to provide adequate notice. There's no reason why the handbook can't mention both (or, preferably, all three) bridging devices - it just needs to mention that if_bridge doesn't exist in 5.x -- Peter Jeremy ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
