Careful there.....one major reason I use FreeBSD is that, compared with the other operating systems I can use, major breakages are rare. I expect the policy that prevents you from deploying the most featureful OS available is there to avoid the late-night pain required to run the latest and greatest features in production. It would be a shame if stability were lost in a rush for new features. If smarter people than I feel that SACK should be backported, great. However, I for one greatly appreciate the commitments to stability and POLA that are so much a part of FreeBSD. --eli > > > -- > Darcy Buskermolen > Wavefire Technologies Corp. > ph: 250.717.0200 > fx: 250.763.1759 > http://www.wavefire.com > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > --==_Exmh_499819802P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFBLPprLTFEeF+CsrMRAlbNAJ4xYndu6Rj4md7nZmn1mvFnDUauTACgkKiX 8vdAgnevBrkK0AxND8z1IkA= =csvP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_499819802P--
