I should HOPE this has changed by now :) It should be, though if you find any instances where it's still not, please point them out to www@freebsd.org! :) > So if my opinion counts for anything in this debate, it goes for the > 2.2.5-stable branch name. :) But the branch is called RELENG_2_2 - that is physically the name of the tag. There is no RELENG_2_2_5 branch tag, which is what your suggestion would imply and cause even more confusion. I think we're really better off just leaving it the heck alone for now. During BETA test is *not* the time to contemplate major changes in our release engineering strategy, for better or for worse. This should have been brought up several months ago if Rod was actually hoping for any sort of genuine effect here. :-) As it is, I certain intend on doing absolutely nothing different than "usual" at this late stage in the game.
