Hi! I'm not thinking this. This is made up by users who only adapt slowly to changes and features. Look at the whole crowd which got furious about the new Microsoft Office. I tell you, in one year, no one will cry about it anymore. Sometimes, I feel like I am the only who is happy about good ideas, even when they change something drastically. The most people think "Whoa... I have to learn again!"... and then silently accept it when it is very late, because everyone else already migrated. This has nothing to do with release quality, because the efforts to make a production release of x.0 are much higher, in my opinion. So the quality is generally better, if you have enough time to make this release. For me the worst FreeBSD release ever was 5.3. Even 5.0 BETAs worked better on my hardware. I also stopped using FreeBSD at that time until 7.0 BETAs arrived. =20 > And when BETA/RC time comes users rush like mad to test it. And they > find errors and bugs.

It's really disappointing to see the next release without a functioning backup possibility (for my configuration here). Fortunately, I don't see a fixed release date, yet. I hope the developers fix as much as possible even when we see 9.0R in late 2012. -- Martin --Sig_/U3MQ=pQ2=FAG7WVLIWO1Npc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJOmTb0AAoJEF8wvLx/5p/7IR4P/30qa/tSOaxvp4XzS9AnvBvX mflwXznlgvkMycgNYWBHF7mny9ky94WMniIKYXRRSxwpx88I+9Z8dVG4TmbmScN6 OAeaUNDaCVQB128SOxISwv+NxiaL6ldzXItjXPWWrpvNe+QVpNo+kih3RG6PeI1K zM0fxgJ/u5QZK2DdsglWIwNQrpkZsuiAFiV91nNdsJ8kCIyWd5UxIa1mGOJR/99k J0rmgFLk7ualIJ7B8pWpAcxBWJFl0V/ZcryHdeEwgafHBMJRDnLUj0466jSexqHX yWPOoyxRdb/YunoUbOj3KELxAThrMDmpW8BAwdOB8nE1fLvOD5Paq0o0/5bL7vwm qvocrKm3yCGZyw6T8toUmkAE3tYTMnx2z4Dx+KWvl0vkdH+ilEiFi4FZvAmVhPfS KvUbnolYJ+H0m2hylyqN/e6ZURt7pTrUQZ2lesmUMn00/bQ08zoylRdGxsKKQL2B kaZwVVu1PtxWyE0ymZSxyn0h4kNWk7WJXvorXN6JwjMi+sAHj7elx2TDttgClu8L ieJFDuntGCfTcXZYWBCUT/E576CBdcaMOusnCxOnVfgf4lkGBai77UKbPWvPUhv+ sNpteBCTfLiFiMCbO7WlVOnGGfukCk372rbKHAvdqUiBUaFCPYR2rmGkTVZ8BF74 iIWcHtXsOzhvy95rMZYd =C/QQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/U3MQ=pQ2=FAG7WVLIWO1Npc--
