Was this discussed somewhere? I don't understand why we should restrict our
filesystem naming because of limitation of auxilary filesystems. There're
even more restrictive filesystems available, we couldn't support them all.
While previous modifications looked harmless this one seems questionable to
me.
I understand, this is a bikesched, but I really don't see a reason. You
can't build FreeBSD on windows anyway.
Many of us would *very* much like to be able to cross-build FreeBSD from both
Windows and Mac OS X, which would be highly desirable for embedded systems and
appliance shops. The first obstacle to making that work is that you can't
even check out our source code correctly on those platforms, so fixing that is
an important priority so that the remainder can be worked on.
