   /foo/modules/5.0/cd9660/cd9660.kmod
   
   I'm tempted to say that the minor version shouldn't matter for releases but
   it might be hard to stick to that kind of policy.
   
   /foo/modules/4.99.62/cd9660/cd9660.kmod
   
   For -current the entire version would need to be significant. One problem I
   see is getting those into the set lists, but that's a SMOP a think.
   
   Sound reasonable?


sounds great!  thanks for working on this.


mrg.
