Whatever people wish to back-port to it, within reason. Your personal opinion aside, we don't engage in social engineering around here by holding back fixes in attempt to force users to switch. There are some large commercial sites which only recently stopped using 2.2.8 and not everyone is or needs to be a revision-bumping junkie for FreeBSD. As to discouraging developers by doing so, I don't see that at all. Only developers who actively WANT to commit to the -stable branches do so. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
