I plan to commit http://phk.freebsd.dk/patch/cdevsw.patch one of the first days of the week.
Basically, it changes cdevsw initializations to use C99 sparse format, and thereby eliminates 859 lines of redundant defaultvalue initializations.
I thought HEAD was in a slush mode. des' sweep and this sweep seems like the kind of changes we don't want at this time. Has this changed or did re@ approve it (both cases)?
RE@ had in principal agreed with this work, since it will make 5-STABLE and 6-CURRENT more compatible. PHK should probably have noted this in the commit message. As for DES, it's been discussed quite a bit on [EMAIL PROTECTED] We probably should have been more vocal about it, but once again it's good to have it in before 5-STABLE. 5.0 seems to have been the catalyst needed to get things moving again. It went much better than expected, and is giving people a benchmark for what still needs to be done. To that end, 5.1 will probably be quite different from 5.0. If the differences between 5.1 and 5.2 aren't as drastic and widespread, then that should be a good indication that we are ready for 5-STABLE. Please remember that re@ should be kept in the loop when you plan to make large changes. Things seem to be going pretty smoothly right now, so please don't let them get out of hand.
