No.  I'm saying that there won't be a PAO release.  I'm also saying
that is because it won't be needed.  The work that is generally done
out of the tree will likely be done in tree.

In other words PAO functionality will be merged into normal FreeBSD in
the coming months in various ways.  Right now you don't need PAO for
most things.  The drivers that are in PAO will be merged into the tree
(look at the sn driver recently committed).  Other drivers are on the
list, but likely after 4.0 release happens.  I don't think the wlp
driver is going to happen before 4.0 release.

I've personally not run PAO on my laptop since I used the PAO install
disk to install things back in the 2.2.x time frame (although I might
be confusing my VAIO and my libretto) when I immediately did the make
world on 3.0-current.
