ok.  so when is freebsd 3.5 being released ?

since probably 1-2G of freebsd 3.5 packages started
appearing ?


<rant>
please don't take this the wrong way - i really respect
the work that's gone into freebsd - much of it unpaid
and on peoples own time.

i'm not a daily reader of the freebsd web pages.  it
appears i'm not on enough mailing lists either and i
doubt i have the time to wade through them to get the
signal ratio i need for mirror related work.

i'm _really_ starting to get sick of the lack of
mirror information and planning.  sick of it enough
to ask someone else to take over being the primary
mirror and deal with all the issues.  i'll just mirror
releases and packages and delete the rest of the
freebsd archive.

john polstra is about the only person i've found who
has been able to help with mirror related issues and
i feel guilty enough when it seems to end up trying
to use copious quantities of his time up when he has
so much other stuff on his plate.

is the lack of mirror contact a sign that the freebsd
`management' are just going to scrap the mirror network
and just go with akamai to deliver freebsd to the net ?
