I'm really curious as to why STABLE became BETA and not RC before the pending RELEASE. STABLE, by definition, != beta, is it? Just when I thought we had settled on a consistent naming scheme, someone finds the time to throw a wrench in the works... I'm having a hard time telling people to install STABLE (which I prefer to recommend) when they end up with BETA and come back asking why the hell I made them install a beta. [And try telling management why your latest "upgrade" resulted in a (shriek) "beta."] It just doesn't look good. -ac -- ============================================================== Alex Charalabidis (AC8139) 5050 Poplar Ave, Ste 170 System Administrator Memphis, TN 38157 WebNet Memphis (901) 432 6000 Author, The Book of IRC http://www.bookofirc.com/ ============================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
