To be clear, at this point, the main thing blocking merging SA is this thread. So if getting 5.0 out the door is the main concern, let us merge revivesa and get moving. :-) AFAICT we no longer have any panics (PLEASE POST STACK TRACES IF YOU HAVE A PANIC!!), so adding SA will not be a security issue. Yes, firefox has an issue, but it 1) is restricted to itself, and 2) is something that can be fixed (I believe) in a pullup to the netbsd-5 branch. If we find that the issue can not be fixed, then we always have the option of turning the SA compile option off in default kernels. Take care, Bill
