The word "showstopper" has shown up quite a few times on -current recently, in reference to various problems that absolutely must be fixed before 4.0 can be released. But I just have to let this out; a "showstopper" is something really *good*, not something really bad. I should say that the work that's been done on NFS is a real showstopper. The threads package is a showstopper. I just think it'll be too bad if we lose that word entirely from the English language. It's such a nice thing, I think it's tragic for it to get smeared like that.
