You and I both know that this is -CURRENT, and is the place where big changes are made. This is the place where this kind of change would be made, if ever. It is the less experienced/less knowledgeable people for whom we should be concerned about with regards to POLA. And they would most likely be least astonished by a GENERIC kernel description that is well organized and makes sense, especially when compared to a larger NOTES file. Breaking your ediff is a minor problem, if the result is that many people coming to FreeBSD will be less likely to be confused by the old cruftage left laying around. If you don't want anything to change, then tracking -CURRENT is a really bad idea. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles_at_skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
