Those people who think they need -stable, will just have to put up with the releases. And if that's not sufficient, then they can contribute the resources to put out minor releases (of patches?) between the major ones. I think it is unreasonable for people to expect new functionality (like the VM changes, for instance) to be provided by -stable at the expense of -current development and the next release. > > -DG > > David Greenman > Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project > -- John Birrell CIMlogic Pty Ltd jb@cimlogic.com.au 119 Cecil Street Ph +61 3 9690 6900 South Melbourne Vic 3205 Fax +61 3 9690 6650 Australia Mob +61 18 353 137
