I just would like to suggest everyone to take it a bit more easy. I think this is not the time to summon hard feelings. Everything is a bit hectic these days, and a few unlucky things have happened. The banana-skin has two sides after all, but we all share the same goal. I guess it will be possible for the release folks, to give estimates on disk space. What Jordan has mentioned is sufficient for most mirrors I guess. I don't think a precise figure up to the last byte would be necessary. And a release date will also be given to the mirror maintainers. Thats all most of us needed. One could argue about the time, this happens in advance, but for now, it should be ok. Next time won't happen in a short interval. FreeBSD is no quirky Losix distribution where releases and foreign-language distributions are shipped every couple of weeks. On the other hand if a RC is due to be included or a release may be shipped within the next month or so, I guess its not a problem to notify. For the 5 CD-Set a final comment: The WC/Wind River CD-Set was never carried by the mirrors, as far as I'm recall, just the first CD of the set was, and I don't think this will change with 4.4-RELEASE. So anyway, I wrote much more, I intended to, so just keep up the good work.
