While those are logical mailing lists for this topic to have come
up on, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that there are many
freebsd users and committers who are not on those lists. Many
people who do know about the existing COMPAT_FREEBSD* variables,
and thus will be surprised at this variable name.
My understanding is that there has already been a lot of furor
over this name, so let me first say I don't mean to infuriate
anyone. However, my own vote would be for some other name than
COMPAT_FREEBSD32.
