I expect many people think the same of the FreeBSD project - that it won't make changes of this kind in a abrubt fashion, but that is exactly what has happened here. When I was updating, mergemaster highlighted the change and I thought, "How odd, I guess I missed that announcement", and merrily zapped it with my existing config. I didn't get upset, partly because I didn't really think very hard about the impact, but mostly because I assumed I was at fault for having missed the heads-up about it. As to what the default should be, I don't know, that's for all you smart people out there to "debate" so that the rest of us, who are eternally indebted to you, don't have to. I suspect that the vast majority of users also don't have an opinion either way, but enjoy hanging out in the bikeshed, just like me. -fr. -- Feargal Reilly, Chief Techie, FBI.
