Well, again Nik, I asked how people would *feel* about it (read what I said very carefully), I didn't say that I was announcing a push-back to that date - that would have occurred in a follow-up making it clear in no uncertain terms what the new date was. Some people did feel that the 14th was a really good idea and others, who communicated with me more privately, felt that it was a very bad idea for various reasons I won't go into. I've since been trying to come up with a firm date which would make all parties happy and since I have yet to confirm that, you haven't seen an announcement declaring the new release date. Hopefully we can have all this resolved in the next 24 hours or so. - Jordan From: Nik Clayton <nik@freebsd.org> Subject: Re: FreeBSD 4.4 upcoming release/timetabling/mirroring Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 18:03:52 +0100 > On Mon, Sep 10, 2001 at 09:33:57AM -0700, Jordan Hubbard wrote: > > As to release dates, I'm still waiting for the security team to green > > light the release.
