For an errata branch, the security officer and the release engineering team does not generally approve a proposed change, unless it is considered as a "must have" change, i.e. a security fix, or reproducible instability fix. The new documentations will go to CVS -HEAD, then merged into the stable branch(es), and finally get into the next release ^_^ Cheers, --=20 Xin LI <delphij delphij net> http://www.delphij.net/ --=-zuvYVqyBOE0h5aF332kL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCkvW2/cVsHxFZiIoRAuQaAJ9y1zkQI+xz6LbpxyfzbrCwl1fYYACfYC8U SlfSQ1HERzmhvRDeRng2mB4= =+nsf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-zuvYVqyBOE0h5aF332kL--
