Why? ok, (takes deep breath) Almost every time we make a change to teh OS we make a dicision, not only about the new feature, but about compatibility issues and legacy support. Yes there are some (very small) things that we might not be able to take advantage of by supporting old hardware but by and large we attempt to allow the OS to run on old and new hardware, and makign sure that the new features are availaible. That is why all these things are optional and can be selected in or out of a system. I think some of the frustration people have shown with you is because you don't seem to appreciate how much this issue is constantly thought about and how the current state is not just an "accident of history". We have a LOT of old systems running around the world. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current_at_freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe_at_freebsd.org"Received on Fri Apr 06 2007 - 16:56:08 UTC
