When I first read your mail on arch@ I didn't think about it, but now I'm reading this thread, it stirs my mind. RELENG_6 is supposed to be very stable. Though the ultimate stability would be to stay in RELENG_6_0, I think MFC'ing those changes to RELENG_6 would cause much pain to system administrators who will be upgrading from 6.0 to 6.1 if they don't not update their apache13 port accordingly. I mean this would require a bold flashing note in UPDATING. However this still implies the 350 dragging ports to be updated in time for 6.1. IMHO this update might be degrade the excellent image of the FreeBSD Release Engineering. -- Jeremie Le Hen < jeremie at le-hen dot org >< ttz at chchile dot org >
