      also allowed us to easily pick&choose the FreeBSD enhancements
      to merge in.

   That's a useful reason (and the reason I'd've done it the FreeBSD
   way.)

Hello?  Is someone trying to imply that we didn't pick through our
changes very carefully?  Given that I actually did a fair bit of the
merge, I can tell you that's absolutely false; we picked through every
single change we had made, and surprise, most of it was correct and
was even accepted by the ex-CSRG folks.

Some people just *don't* pay attention.
