libifying base. And, if there's still stuff that needs libxo'd, do that, too. Looking at both could help to derive a clean library API that libxo'd interfaces can use. libifying base has been on my "interesting TODO" list for the last 10 years or so, I just haven't had the inclination. Now that there's been a swell of support for it, getting people together to actually make it happen seems like a good idea. - Justin _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
