Also, our forward compatibility guarantees are extremely weak.
Just for clarification: I am not complaining about my breakage. It was my stunt and it didn't work out, I got punished by sitting there and waiting for llvm to compile. I think this (useful) change should go into the future release notes as a new feature. Where and how should this be documented? Shall FreeBSD_version be bumped for this one? For example, when libsys got introduced, we could learn about this from the UPDATING file. I do not want UPDATING to be come unreadable or a copy of git log, though. Marcin
