It is an additional functionality and should not
pose a stability/tradition/POLA issue.
Perhaps we can get this done in time for for 4.1-R?
This would be great, but I doubt it will be in 4.1-R.
Please remember that we're only 2 - 3 weeks away from the
release date, and maybe just one week from the beta stage.
The ``propellers'' code is not widely tested (although I'm
using it for many months, as well as a few friends of mine,
but I wouldn't call this a ``wide test''), so I'd consider
it to be experimental. 5.0-current is the right place to put
this code into. Whether it's appropriate to MFC it after a
while is a different question, but this won't happen before
4.1-R, I'm sure.
BTW, the code that I have (and which I submitted) is for
4.0-current (about half a year old), and there have been a
few changes to syscons in the meantime. That means that the
code has to undergo some changes before it can be committed.
And right now I have almost _zero_ time to spend on that
(I'm moving and changing jobs).
You'd have my support for committing this, I'd love to see it
in FreeBSD asap. (As long as it's not the default)
It'd be really nifty to see it as a loadable module, although
I haven't seen how much it actually bloats the kernel, doing
it that way and providing hooks in syscons would be a nice
thing.
