I was looking over my kernel config file and spotted:

# 4.3BSD compatibility. Should be optional, but necessary for now.
options COMPAT_43

That's been there forever--dating back to r1.1 of
sys/arch/alpha/conf/GENERIC. Anyone know if it's *really* necessary?
Neither the i386, amd64, nor mac68k GENERICs claim that it's necessary.
Just curious :)
