I think the point is that if everyone took that opinion then -stable would never get stress-tested in the sort of environment that Marc is using it, and we would never find some problems until a -release was rolled making the -release far less stable than we are used to. I think it's great that Marc is willing to run -stable in such an environment, basically for the good of the communuity to help to iron out bugs before a release. The problem is that he has been getting an unacceptably high level of crashes and no help in ironing out the bugs. Unfortunately these situations need someone with a high level of knowledge to sit down and work with Marc's crash dumps to figure out what the problem is. And those people are few and far between..... Andrew. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
