It would like you make some commentaries with regard to date of launching of
the versions of the FreeBSD.

Because to define a date for the launching of a
new version? It will be that when a date is marked to be made the launching
of the new version the things does not finish leaving with haste, is not
created expectation on it and thus a certain collection?

Certain you that nobody earns to develop the code of the FreeBSD, and yes
for the simple ones
and good will. Back in the Home Page
(http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.6R/schedule.html) it is describing the
steps of the launching of the 4.6-release version. It will be that with only
2 RELEASE CANDIDATES (with interval of only 1 day of one cadidate for the
other) it is the sufficient to determine itself if the version already is
ready to be launched?

For bigger number of people who make done cvspup
RELENG_4 daily and either make world, and for better developers that we
have in we team it of the FreeBSD, I find that in 1 month and some days it
is
not time enough to become test and if to determine the launching of a new
version already is ready. In my opnićo the 4.6-release version was
prematurely launched, because you find "bug" in the hour to even give boot
with cd-01 to be able to make the installation and relatively serious other
bug related to IDE DEVICE ATA If she was made more tests in this version
before the launching, these two probelemas would not have been before
detected and thus to have been corrected before being launched? In these,
were one of the main reasons to be announced the launching of version
4.6.1, because with relation to the OpenSSH the current version (2.9.9) was
not vulnerable.

It does not need to have haste to liberate a new version, and yes after all
the
tests possible and imaginable to have been done.

This is my commentary.
