Hi,

I would like to confirm the consensus about $SUBJECT.
Does anybody still have objections against this action?

The problem of compatibility remains, of course.
The moderate solution is to provide a converter script such like:

	sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*options[[:space:]]\+snd/s/snd_//g' \
		< /etc/modules.conf > /etc/modules.conf.new

and check the validity of /etc/modules.conf in Makefile via grep,
put a warning message if it's still the old-style.

If you have better idea, suggestions, or any strong objections, please
infrom us _now_ !!


thanks,

Takashi
