According to this thread, it appears the 4.x branch is still used for whatever reasons, may they be perceived good or bad depends on one's own consideration and feeling. If the FreeBSD Project is going to relinquish RELENG_4 support because of lack of interest from the developpers -- and I can understand this --, it would not hurt though to arrange a place where people still interrested in RELENG_4 could talk together, exchange tricks and patches and so to continue a kind of unofficial support. Although this may appear as a loose and slack support, it is yet better than having nothing, IMHO. Best regards, -- Jeremie Le Hen < jeremie at le-hen dot org >< ttz at chchile dot org >
