If but only life was that simple. :) The code has to branch off the mainline sooner rather than later or quite a bit of re-engineering work planned for -current will stack up behind 4.1-RELEASE. I also predict that unless we put such road blocks in people's way, and I think that would be a bad thing, -current is about to become a lot more interesting again over the next 90 days. That means that for 4.1 to ever have a chance *be* stable, it has to get off the express -current track. People may get confused over the resulting nomenclature, I do understand that, but that's a minor downside by comparison. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
