Well I guess we disagree. The topic is the release 3.0, NOT 3.*. Here is the an excerpt from the 3.0 annoucement: : After what can only be described as a heroic effort by the FreeBSD : Project volunteers, the long-awaited release of FreeBSD 3.0 is now : out! This release is primarily aimed at developers and early-adopters, : though many ISPs have reported good results when using it in production : (not that we recommend this to any but the most highly skilled). Hence my statement that it was *abundantly clear* that the 3.0 release was never intended for general production work. There were so, so many changes and new facilities in 3.0 that I can't imagine anyone considering it as full shaken down and ready for production work from the get go.
