I tend to agree.  In general in FreeBSD, when there's no consensus for
a change, then the change doesn't happen.  When there is a change that
causes contention, typically, it is backed out until consensus can be
reached.

I'm not sure what the right thing to do here is, but when I see Paul
Vixie say a change is bad, I tend to think long and hard about why I
think it is right.
