I have had mixed feelings about the freeze before but this a very important point. I do remember some rather frustrated mails from Jordan when problems with the documentation broke the release building process again and again. So, basically, here's another vote for a 'hard' freeze of the documentation. I just want to add a vote of caution: Even in the hard freeze, it should still be possible to fix typos and similar stuff in the english documentation... /s/Udo -- > FreeBSD recently made 'flex' its default implementation of 'lex'.
