Are you trying to win the "Works with eDns!" stamp of approval for rhetorical acrimony? You've seen how FreeBSD releases are constructed by breaking off branches from -current and stabilizing them over a period of time. Feature sets appear in -current well before ever making it into a release, so there is planning time. As for FreeBSD-SMP, it is no secret that it exists and has been loosely targeted for 3.0, what more do you want? I've been tracking FreeBSD development since pre-2.0 and personally feel that you're being unfairly critical. IMHO. -Chris On Fri, 18 Apr 1997, dennis wrote: > Why is this "annoucement" such a big secret? Are you just not sure yet?
