The only two questions are: do we really want it (won't there be >any reasons to regret about it) and how do we want it to look? As much as it pains me to raise this point, we would regret it if we did not use 32.32, because Linux already went that way. As much as there is to be said for doing things right, we should also try to avoid pointless incompatibilities which will make it needlessly hard for people to move code, particular device drivers forth and back. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk_at_FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.Received on Wed Dec 19 2012 - 15:51:08 UTC
