FreeBSD should really consider changing the name of their branch name STABL= E to DEV or PRE-RELEASE, since it clearly states on freebsd.org the STABLE branch is for those wishing to track and contribute to the development process of the next FreeBSD RELEASE. It makes sense to leave RELEASE the way it is, since RELEASE branches are meant exactly for how their namesake states. FreeBSD-CURRENT pretty much self-explains what it's meant for, which is the latest, bleeding edge code, which once tested is added to STABLE...or wait, then maybe CURRENT should be called DEV? aaaaahhh!! :) matt On 11/26/05, J.D.
