And I guess I don't know what you consider "production" systems, but I would still never bring such a system into a true production environment, period.. I would test it on another machine using *simulated* load or some collection of my users who were in turn explictly BETA customers themselves, but anything more than this and you're running plain off the rails and NOT doing what I try to recommend that FreeBSD's users do (e.g. "don't run pre-releases on your production hardware!"). That's my story and I'm sticking with it. Jordan
