The 4-STABLE development branch (with the CVS tag RELENG_4) will take on various names during its lifetime, including 4.6-STABLE, 4.7-PRERELEASE, and 4.7-RC. It will eventually be the basis of 4.7. It will definitely get the bugfix, once one is created. The 4.6 release/security branch (with the CVS tag RELENG_4_6) will have version numbers of the form 4.6-RELEASE, 4.6-RELEASE-p1, 4.6-RELEASE-p2, and so forth. It normally only gets security fixes and critical system bugfixes. I think it's *way* too early to be thinking about applying an ATA tagged queueing bugfix to this branch, since the bugfix in question doesn't even exist yet. (Neither does the branch, for that matter.) Hope this helps, Bruce. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
