In that case I have a strong objection to the SMP patchset being merged to 4.0. I have kernel modules in object format only that are working now, which this would break :-(. Either way, nothing ever should me an immediate MFC, even a blantant security hole should not be MFC'ed immediately, code needs to be tested, and some other person might find a few niglets that need cleaned up before you MFC it. Who knows, you might even break the system, and an immediate MFC would break both at once. Never, ever should anything be immediatly merged. IMHO, no even spelling fixes, as I have seen those done wrong, patched, and MFC'ed again. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
