So what you say..
Well Im used to *BSD source where you can, say, build a kernel

hogging disk space and fattening up your kernel : >
Open Solaris aint there yet.
With OpenSolaris, we're used to modular kernels that load only
the modules they require right now, without all that messy
kernel compilation. ;-)
Well yes I knew that but really the point here is (I think)
that things are a tad haywire right now - maybe now is a
good time to nip things in the bud..? Why have E10000 stuff
when it wont be used and the source aint there anyhoo?
A finer grained and more closely audited sun4u tree
(acrually not just sun4u) would be nice
but I guess I can live without it. At least I can get where I
am right now which is pretty good.
So I guess you vote for copying all the 'piggy back' files then
over customizing a prototype file..?
(Disk space is cheap to counter your
other point.)
It certainly is nowadays.
Old assembler language guys cringe at wasted bytes though ; >
