With that last sentence I would say this stuff all waits for 2.2, release branches should no longer ``wait'' for fixes to come in, as there are always things to fix. Document the problems as known bugs, and even ear mark them as being worked on/fixed in 2.2, but don't start to drag the release out. We should be cutting alpha about now if I recall the schedule correctly. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
