Juli, you need to convince many more than just yourself that this is a good approach for something that is so over-reaching and will be something we *all* have to live with. Right now you don't have much of a buy-in for this, and we haven't even seen public support for it from Peter "(the config(8) maintainer)". Possibly you have a very eloquent design, and that once something is implemented using it the rest of us will have our light bulbs turned on. Maybe this is something that should remain in a Perforce tree until that time. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
