I haven't been following this thread, so I may have missed
something here, but the comment above rang some alarms.
Does any of this affect people who simply install a RELEASE from
CD and then build a kernel to get their config the way they
want? I'm assuming it doesn't, but I got worried by what you
said here.
Like lots of people who use FreeBSD rather than tinker with it,
I have never done "make any-kind-of-world" and never expect to.
I create a kernel config with my stuff in it, and do config,
make, make install. I trust this is not going to be broken?
