You could just call them supported ports. Supported means what currently happens with 3rd party code in base, and unsupported is what software in ports currently is. But, seems like there still would be an issue with compatibility and a stable API or ABI. If the current restrictions are going away, then you might as well just make them ports. If they're staying, you'll end up with an outdated supported port being maintained separately from the current unsupported port, just like now essentially. -- Skip _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
