Wow. Cool. Way cool. My mind is already beginning to boggle, just thinking of what very little I know of what must go into a process like this.... On a totally non-technical, but somewhat related note, can anyone give me any kind of idea how often relatively "large scale" changes like this typically occur with FreeBSD? By the time I came along, I think -CURRENT was already well into 4.x, so I don't have that kind of history to fall back on. I'm just intensely curious to know how often "revolutions" of this kind of scale typically happen within this project. I can't wait to see the discussions go on with relation to all this stuff! However, if you don't mind I think I'll continue to track RELENG_4 and listen over here to get some idea of what may be ultimately coming down the pike over there for -STABLE. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
