Well, we all "maintain" it, meaning that we keep it compilable. However, I'm sure that no one checks the functionality. There are no regression tests, and seems to be no users. I recently found that if you run GENERIC and 'kldload svr4.ko', the socket layer compatibility will be broken, since SVR4 requires COMPAT_OLDSOCK. And that has been for decades, and no one notices that. I bet there are simply no users. Towing this piece of code into the future is just a waste of time. -- Totus tuus, Glebius.Received on Wed Feb 15 2017 - 07:14:32 UTC
