Why the magic number 12?
Numbers higher seem to result in worse performance as reported by some members
of my team.
Should we really commit all "notes to self" or "my team's knowledge base" to
FreeBSD source code like this?
I would hope so! At least in comments, that way we can all help each other.
Otherwise each time another person comes along they are subject to
having to discover the same things that I did.
What is the point of listing 10+ make targets if someone coming in
doesn't know which ones to run and how to run them optimally in order to
ensure a safe build? Do you not agree that more of this sort of
documentation should be in the code instead of having to ask on IRC?
For the record I checked multiple pages in developer primer and scoured
makefiles for a while before giving up and asking on IRC. I figured it
would be helpful for the next clueless goon that came in and tried to
make things better if I recorded my experience to guide them.
I hold no strong feelings towards the comments, other than they should
be preserved in some form, or maybe even turned into a workable target
for people that don't want or can not hold all that context in their brains.
