The ObsoleteFiles removal/test targets
- check-old
- delete-old
- delete-old-libs
and the corresponding docs.
Note: Someone may want to have a look at the man-page and perhaps MFC
some other parts (unrelated to ObsoleteFiles).

most of the sysctl's (those which would introduce a new interface).
The spdif_enabled sysctl is still there (or more correctly: added
to another driver).
A rough overview what's there now:
- new driver for ATI chips (snd_atiixp)
- support for some Intel HDA chips in AC97 mode (no real HDA
support!), this doesn't work with every mainboard and is
subject to the wiring on the mainboard (no servicable parts
inside)
- MPSAFE and fixes for snd_als4000(4), snd_es137x(4),
snd_via82c686(4), snd_via8233(4) and snd_ich(4)
- 24bit and 32bit sound format support
- feeder infrastructure (format, rate) has been reworked, new
feeder (volume) has been introduced
- lots of LOR and panic issues fixed
- and a lot of small or not so small fixes I may have forgotten...
As noted in UPDATING: you may want to recompile mplayer (after booting
into the new world) to get all new features.
Tested by: a lot of people

- Mention that this is -STABLE
- Mention that only 5.3+ is supported for source upgrade
- When just building a kernel we assume that the user got a
system that is fresh enough
- The in-place update is supported for 5.x-STABLE and 6.x-STABLE
- Since we don't support systems that is prior to 5.3, don't
mention about mergemaster three years before.
- Since source upgrade from 4.x is no longer supported, we
are supposed that COMPAT_FREEBSD5X is better suited for the
source upgrade
- At the end, call this a -STABLE

by default, to match the reality that these has been turned off on
the 6-STABLE branch since 6.0-BETA6.
This is a direct commit against RELENG_6 since it is not applicable
for HEAD.

ifconfig_DEFAULT variable. Unlike pccard_ifconfig, ifconfig_DEFAULT
applies to all interfaces that do not specify an ifconfig_<ifn>
variable rather than just those listed in removable_interfaces.
- Correct the list of interfaces when network_interfaces and
removable_interfaces are both set by including removable_interfaces
in the list of canidates.
- When listing dhcp interfaces, include those with other ifconfig
options so nat works.

support 4->6 upgrades, this is moot. Most 4.x installations even,
have things compatible with 5 at thsi point, but some don't, so I'll
leave it in the branch...

clock time to uptime because wall clock time may go backwards.
This is a change in the API which will impact SNMP agents who are using
ifi_epoch to set RFC2233's ifCounterDiscontinuityTime. None are know to
exist today. This will not impact applications that are using the
<index, epoch> tuple to verify interface uniqueness except that it
eliminates a race which could lead to a false assumption of uniqueness.
Because this is a behavior change, bump __FreeBSD_version.

PAGE_SIZE.
Unlike originator of the PR suggests retain MAXSHELLCMDLEN definition
(he has been proposing to replace it with PAGE_SIZE everywhere), not only
this reduced the diff significantly, but prevents code obfuscation and also
allows to increase/decrease this parameter easily if needed.

People wishing to see prior changes are encouraged to look at the
UPDATING file on the RELENG_5 branch. Document when RELENG_5 was
branched, as well as the 5.3 release date, as shown in the CVS logs
for newvers.sh.
This change should not be MFC'd.
