It is quite upsetting indeed.

There are tonnes of unused compatibility stuff in FreeBSD; backing out 
some interface that could have been used as a compatibility layer with 
something that is actually heavily used in the neighbouring BSD projects 
is unwarranted and obviously biased.

Alexander, I'd like to thank you for your work in committing this, and 
for all of your thoughtful replies on the cvs-src and other mailing 
lists.  I'd also like to thank everyone else who participated in the 
testing of this framework, and otherwise provided support for the project.

Last but not least, I'd also like to thank my SoC mentor, syrinx_at_, for 
her strong belief that the previous conflicts between the FreeBSD and 
OpenBSD projects would not affect the framework, which, at the end of 
the day, made this SoC project successful and complete, and allowed for 
it to be integrated into some other unrelated BSD project (based on a 
RELENG_4 fork).  Shteryana, I wish you the best of luck, and I hope that 
you'll prove us all wrong.  :-)

For people that are unhappy about the backout, speak now or forever hold 
your peace.  Either way, this SoC project was great, and even phk_at_ 
agrees in that matter!  ;-)

Best regards,
Constantine.
