It is a little disconcerting that 759 maintainers have decided to either not convert to staging or decided to walk away. # cat notstaged.txt | cut -d: -f2 | sort | uniq | cut -d@ -f1 | uniq | wc -l 759 John alluded to a plan for ports, of which staging is a prerequisite, is there a current plan available to be shared? It might help some maintainers to buy-in to the staging paradigm and continue their valuable contribution to the FreeBSD project. The prospect of freezing my ports tree, at end of June, and cherry-picking ports isn't pleasant. Dewayne.
