: Heh, this will again change the behaviour under virtualization hosts
: that emulate this hardware. Sometime before 7.0 the addition of this
: hint caused all leX devices to be renamed le(X+1) because le0 was
: taken and disabled. Restoring this will cause the same thing in
: reverse. Unless someone actually has this hardware (as opposed to its
: emulation) and needs the hint for something, I'd suggest these
: particular lines be removed before 8.0 to restore the original
: behaviour quickly. Obviously, they cannot be MFC-ed to 7-STABLE

Generically, this has been the case since:
