The branch main has been updated by markj: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=3d4d778262e459c9c80781a3474908d090ffb061 commit 3d4d778262e459c9c80781a3474908d090ffb061 Author: Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2025-08-19 14:04:57 +0000 Commit: Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2025-08-19 14:04:57 +0000 random: Correct wording in a comment In the calculation of the cutoff value, we haven't changed the window size itself, just the example formula, which takes the window size as a parameter.
