Guys like you and Mike are so busy that when you step in on an issue, it's got to be pretty important -- especially when you step in multiple times. So, I'll sit down and shut up. However, that doesn't mean that I believe that 4.0 is ready for general use in a production environment. IMO, the guys at Yahoo! know enough about systems like this (and probably helped write goodly portions of them) that they can take OS versions that are not quite ready for general use in a production environment, and they can make them ready. However, that's precisely the kind of additional work that needs to get folded into 4.0, so that 4.1 or 4.2 *is* ready for general use in a production environment. > Again, 4.0 is not your typical dot-zero release and I > doubt we'll ever release anything like 3.0 again. I don't doubt that it is light-years ahead of 3.0. However, with 3.4-STABLE, you have set a very high bar for yourself, and I think there are still a few niggling details that need to be dealt with before 4.x is ready to clear that hurdle and go on to conquer new territory. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
