While we often have threads about the name of -stable, this thread is a bit different. Here we are talking about a NEW branch, one which has never existed before. You can't say that the "current naming convention" has worked for this branch, because we've never had a branch like this before 4.3. And even if this was the standard thread about "what would be a good name for -stable", I think you are on weak ground by claiming the current naming convention has worked. If it really DID work, then we wouldn't see these threads reappear every 3 months. [and while I suspect I have already contributed enough potential names for this new branch, let me parenthetically say that I think the new branch has been a very useful branch to have. There are plenty of sysadmin's who don't want to follow the -stable branch on their production machines, but who do want to pick up all the latest security fixes. So, whatever this branch gets called, I think the people doing the work on it deserve a little round of applause for doing a good job with it...] -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
