I'm sorry, I don't.  Half phrases, suspension points and smileys may
say something about you, but not much about what you had in mind.

If you are suggesting to place this hack in devfs instead, you may
want to tell us why and how this hack will impact devfs.

Nice touch.  What was that?
Eminem or Britney Spears?
Next time you may want to quote something fitting the occasion.

Submitters wouldn't be met with derisory hostility if they didn't make
an ass of themselves with immature behaviours.

And that wouldn't be an hack.
I see.


I removed bug-followup at freebsd.org from the CC because this thread is
getting less and less relevant to this PR, and I have the impression
that soon we are going to discuss an entirely different idea of yours.
