I wonder too. Is it really such a good idea to shorten the release cycle even more so that we will have four releases a year now? I don't think so. Like many other users I contribute my 0.02DM to the FreeBSD project by having a FreeBSD CD subscription. One reason why I do so is the fact that with at most three CD releases a year the total amount of money spent stays within a range that I am willing and able to pay. But with one additional release a year I really start to wonder whether I want and can do so any longer; I'm afraid that many other users think so too. Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying that FreeBSD would not be worth the cost of four releases a year, but for many of us having a subscription in order to financially contribute to the project is also a matter of money. Therefore I think we should stay with the four month release cycle. Just my 0.02DM. -- Sascha Blank | FreeBSD - Student and System Administrator | that's where you want to go today! at the University of Trier, Germany | mailto:blank@fox.uni-trier.de | See http://www.freebsd.org for details To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
