I know that many us don't like libc_r, ;), 
but has re@ made an official announcement
about deprecating it?  Until that happens,
then libc_r will still remain in the tree,
and people will use (and complain about) it.

Sounds good to me.....has re@ agreed to it?
The sooner we can remove old crufty threading libraries
from FreeBSD, the happier many of us will be!
