There is a myth that setting the priority obligates any developer to work on any open PR. In actuality FreeBSD is developed and maintained almost completely by volunteers and as such no one is really obligated to work on anything. > Why have a "RC" version if problems are not going to be addressed > and fixed before becoming a release version. Many problems do indeed get addressed during an RC period. In particular the QA cycles for 5.2 and 5.3 fixed dozens if not hundreds of problems. But if we waited until every single problem was fixed we would never release any versions whatsoever. We do the best we can given the available volunteers and beyond that there is really no guarantee. mcl
