(wow)

As long as there is an easy way around, I don't mind. But one of
these days, these BSDs are going to have to move forward a bit.
We're making a certain amount of effort to accomodate these requests,
so it would be nice to some effort coming our way too. Rather than
forcing BSD, can we perhaps plan some kind of transition together?
