It sounds a bit paranoiac (i.e. best or nothing strategy) for me. > I guess it does > not matter too much for the installer, but it does add complexity... > I think if you remove COMPAT_BSDTTY and just have PTYFS the code is > only a few K larger. - there are so many ramdisk lists - some ports still have 1440KB restriction due to installation floppy - few people will bother to maintain such lists just for installer The point of my PR is "unfortunately we always lack man power," as no one have take a look at the problem even after 6.0. If you can sweep all image list files and kernel config files without regressions, it's fine for me. --- Izumi Tsutsui
