Yep, that goes without saying really, but it needs someone familiar with the devlopment work in the other camps to help out. Giving some further thought to the issue of FreeBSD neophytes seeing a cool new feature and deciding to jump into the -current waters themselves, about the only thing I can think to do is to tag each post with a "read me first" link which gives some general background about what to expect with -current (e.g. the FAQ entry on this), what kinds of support you can expect (no hand-holding), etc. That said, I think this could be an excellent chance to advertise to the linux camp, now that we have a little booth in their heartland :-) Kris ---- XOR for AES -- join the campaign!
