"Dumb stupid user" - great argument Doug.

As I am just a dumb stupid user, all I looked at were the kernel
release notes for 9:

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/relnotes-detailed.html#KERNEL

Where none of this is mentioned. At all.

I guess as this only affects dumb stupid users, its not a big deal.
