I of course like source too,
but this rather destroys the force of that argument:
On FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE:
man nve
then go use find on /usr/src. it's a BLOB < Linux & MS compat
PS there's source coming in from elsewhere now for
man nfe
in 7-current & patches for stable & 6.2
Summary: binary only doesnt seem to have precluded FreeBSD in case of nve,
though again, yes we all prefer source avail. too :-)
