Hi Baptiste, this is awesome news. I think this is very good process. I got a question. From which FreeBSD branch is the latest and quarterly build? Since it can be affected by such things as update to new xorg when default in stable/10, etc. Because if the base is stable/10 it should be clear for users or release/10.0 that quarterly/latest is not safe to use. Or when it is from release/10.0, what happened when there will be release/10.1? Anyway thanks a lot, Robert.
