This is news to me. I've never heard that we're that concerned with forward compatability even on a RELENG branch. We do not break the ABI for backwards compatability - in that everything (including kernel modules) that ran on 6.2 must run on 6.3. -- -- David ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
