(It would really be at the level of a *.1 release > then.) I don't think anything is being rushed out the door. _FEATURE_ freeze is January 15th. That means that any new features to be added to 4.0 have to be in the source repository by January 15th... now once a feature is in, I'm sure _AMPLE_ time will be given to get every 4.0 feature working completely before 4.0 becomes -RELEASE. My question is how much time are developers/testers being given between feature freeze (9 days from now) and release to get all code working and stable? FWIW, I'd call IPv6 a feature... releasing half a feature looks pretty rushed. -Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
