Proper documentation serves here better than the "we think
for you" approach. If a developer cannot follow a simple
documented process, he should reconsider his choice of
language and/or platform.
The config.status issue has shown that our developers are

OpenBSD-based developers, OpenBSD 2.7 won't be around
anymore.
