Because 5.2.1 was 5-CURRENT. Not until 5.3 did we make any ABI stability cares or guarantees. It was a conscientious decision the release management team made. I'm sure one could have built a 5.2.1 kernel module (.ko) that is broken on 5.3-RELEASE and 5-STABLE. -- -- David ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
