What I meant was the todo page on www.freebsd.org. Like: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/TODO.html Where problems and showstoppers where brought up. I found that information very valueble. Especially when the release went overdue I could easily see what caused the delay. The last release I did not really get information about why the release was delayed. At least not as easily as reloading a webpage. Well, just my $0.02... /Bjorn
