I find the notion of making people "fix" their software to not rely on RFC-defined behaviour problematic. I'm actually glad to see NetBSD reversed their unfortunate decision regarding the default (and OpenBSD's stunt of not even providing a knob is very evil indeed). > I understand that itojun would like to see this aspect of RFC2553 > amended.

Flipping the default when a revised RFC is published would be the right thing to do. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi_at_freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
