We need immediate feedback on the stability of FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE. (Yes, I know, people are just starting to download it now.) We want and need some of the important fixes that went into -STABLE in the past month (including vital upates to IPFW2), but can't afford to put a release that's not absolutely solid on a production system. (For the same reason, we probably won't go to 5.x until 5.3.) The comment in the release notes suggesting that conservative users stick with 4.8-RELEASE is not encouraging. If 4.9 isn't stable, we may be forced to jump over to OpenBSD 3.4 for new production systems. Will there be a 4.9.1 if there are serious problems in 4.9? --Brett Glass
