! 21: This is a partial list of the major machine independent changes
! 22: (ie. these are the changes people ask about most often). Port
! 23: specific changes have also been made, and are sometimes mentioned
! 24: in the pages for the specific <a href=plat.html>ports</a> if you
! 25: are interested in further port-specific details. Many ports
! 26: have had architecture-specific enhancements relative to NetBSD,
! 27: but when they do not they certainly have plenty of platform-independent
! 28: changes, starting with those listed below..
