"This time of the year" == "This time in the release cycle" If we want to have a somewhat clean line before 4.0 now is the time to push it through, not after the code freeze. And could you mention when the code freeze might be so that some of us could plan our work? Perhaps I've missed something, but I hadn't heard when the freeze would be. I have a *lot* of things to consider changing before it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Re: scsi tape driver wants an update
This is a harmless message for the moment. I took a look at the new
make_dev stuff- it's more than a no-brainer to add because there's a lot
of stuff about supported device nodes, etc... I'll try and get back to
this after FreeBSDcon.
