Is this a joke? Having HEAD as stable as possible is very important. That's the only way to actually expect people (including developers (including myself!)) to run HEAD on their laptops and less important servers. Those people get upset as any other user if their systems stop working, because untested changes are being committed. This is not to pick on Dimitry, but on those who actually believe that it is ok to commit untested changes to HEAD. IT IS NOT. Maybe you are just confused, because the place you are looking for seems to be junkyard, but not HEAD, NEVER HEAD! BTW. This is a lesson we learned from 5-CURRENT. It was so unstable that nobody wanted to run it, and so unstable it was even hard to test changes on it. In turn it was becoming even more unstable, because people kept committing more untested code. Please, do never, ever encourage evil like that or I'll turn on mean Pawel:) --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheelsystems.com FreeBSD committer http://www.FreeBSD.org Am I Evil?
