Any chance of a 4.12, incorporating some of the last bits that have been brought into 4-STABLE... especially the security fixes? (Since this is the -security list, it seems like a good place to ask.) It'd be nice to have one last uniprocessor version of FreeBSD that's really solid and can be used for many years to come, while SMP is tinkered with and perfected in time for the mass rollout of multicore CPUs. (These CPU will really have "arrived" when they become a standard feature in wide screen multimedia laptops. I expect this to happen in 2007 or so.) --Brett
