Still, I think you should announce somewhere that beta software is being
integrated into 4.0-STABLE, or that you are considering it. I don't know
if there are any serious bugs in 8.2.3, but on ISC's pages they say "This
is prerelease code and is not intended for production use". I can't find
any posting on the -stable mailinglist mentioning anything like this.

This might not be a serious problem, but to me it was very puzzling when I
found out beta software which ISC discourages for production use was
committed to 4.0.
