+a note to committers about KAME tree
+$FreeBSD$
+KAME project
+
+
+FreeBSD IPv6/IPsec tree is from KAMEproject (http://www.kame.net/).
+To synchronize KAME tree and FreeBSD better today and in the future,
+please understand the following:
+
+- DO NOT MAKE COSTMETIC CHANGES.
+ "Cosmetic changes" here includes tabify, untabify, removal of space at EOL,
+ minor KNF items, and whatever adds more output lines on "diff freebsd kame".
+ To make future synchronization easier. it is critical to preserve certain
+ statements in the code. Also, as KAME tree supports all 4 BSDs (Free, Open,
+ Net, BSD/OS) in single shared tree, it is not always possible to backport
+ FreeBSD changes into KAME tree. So again, please do not make cosmetic
+ changes. Even if you think it a right thing, that will bite KAME guys badly
+ during upgrade attempts, and prevent us from synchronizing two trees.
+ (you don't usually make cosmetic changes against third-party code, do you?)
+
+- REPORT CHANGES/BUGS TO KAME GUYS.
+ It is not always possible for KAME guys to watch all the freebsd mailing
+ list traffic, as the traffic is HUGE. So if possible, please, inform
+ kame guys of changes you made in IPv6/IPsec related portion. Contact
+ path would be snap-users@kame.net or KAME PR database on www.kame.net.
+ (or to core@kame.net if it is necessary to make it confidential)
+
+Thank you for your cooperation and have a happy IPv6 life!
