:.. :> happen is that a base system with only core features enabled (disk, :> serial, console, network) will always be more stable during the mergework :> then a system with the kitchen sink in. A system with the kitchen :> sink in may not even compile! : :Please give us a list of devices in your development machine. I'm :certainly willing to build a similar machine to walk in your :footsteps.

Probably not useful, but I've appended my TEST3 kernel config file.

:Another suggestion: It would be very useful is to keep stability on :the kernel->userland API for the transition period. That means, if :-current becomes unstable from Jul, 1th until the end of August, I'd :like to be able to live with an userland from Jun, 30th for all the :then-current kernels. : :Modulo ps/top, which I can rebuild on demand, but - if possible - no :problems with essential system-near tools like mount and fsck. : :Martin

I don't forsee any major changes to the userland. There will probably be a lot of recompiling of libkvm and related programs, though.
