Yes, but then the newbies would think this was some special release with extra security features. And complain when they get rooted. We go through "why isn't -STABLE really stable" three or four times per year. I'd rather a tag that didn't imply some kind of promise. But I agree, it should be something other than -RELEASE. > Jordan, care to make an official jkh-style pronouncement on doing this > for RELENG_4_4? :-) Or, commit -SOLID to the RELENG_4_3 branch tonight? -crl -- Chad R.
