Just my $0.02; One thing is killing COMPAT_SUNOS and COMPAT_43, assuming removing them does clean up something and that everything will work as before, however I think the commercial UNIX compat should be preserved precisely because these systems are on their way to extinction, although not there yet. How about people wanting to migrate from those systems into something more modern? What if their legacy applications (for which they spent money) have no opensource equivalent? If someone doesn't want to use them, just don't build them, there's no need to axe them. It looks like the decision is already taken though so let me say, just IMHO, that NetBSD is looking more and more attractive lately, while our compatibility base is shrinking their's is growing. cheers, Pedro. ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
