Uh, hello? Hi? Is this thing on? *tap* *tap* *squeeeeeeeeeel!* Oops,
sorry. Listen, does anybody have any idea why there hasn't been a
-current snapshot on current.freebsd.org since Septembet 18th?
Anyone? People do realize that make release is not the same as
make buildworld, and are testing the former at least once in a while,
right?

I realize this is -current and all and mistakes happen, but make
release basically constitutes a 'full build' of FreeBSD and if it
doesn't work, especially for a whole week, it looks kinda bad.
Unfortunately, when the snapshots on current.freebsd.org fall over,
nobody knows exactly what causes the problem except Jordan, and he
keeps gnawing through his limbs to excape the traps I set for him.
I wish the build logs were online somewhere (hint hint).

When somebody breaks the build at M$, the offender is made to wear
a viking hat. I would suggest a similar punishment for those who
break our own build, except that I suspect many of you are wearing
viking hats already.

-Bill
