Yes, that is my feeling as well. Glad to see your not using some silly justification to explain that it was deliberately left out. :-) My intent on the initial post was to find out if others were seeing the same thing. Since they are, it's time to e-mail the release people. Unfortunately, though, from the looks of the docs coming out of them, there's little interest in the release team on the 4.xx line anymore so this is probably an exercise in futility. Unfortunately the disappointing thing is that the 3.X release had the same kind of thing happen. The very last 3.X release of FreeBSD had several broken things - notably ESDI support, bad144 no longer worked, even when a few revs earlier it was working fine. Now we are seeing the same thing with 4.11 - a niggly problem that marrs the normally perfect release. I am concerned that if something like INDEX was forgotten, that there's going to be other things forgotten as well. Sigh. We really must learn when to quit on these release trains. 4.10 was a perfect cap on a successful 4.x run.
