	We will be laying down the RELENG_5 tag very soon.  Now would be 
the time to make major changes to the layout of the GENERIC kernel 
config, if we were ever going to do so.  Otherwise, we're probably 
stuck with what we've got until RELENG_6.

	If the NOTES information really is better organized than GENERIC, 
I would say that it would be a good idea to re-order the latter to 
more closely follow the former, and the sooner we get this change 
made and committed, the better.


	In short, I'm with Quincy and not buying a word you're saying.
