Discussing M. - especially their development processes or business tactics - does not accomplish anything for us. First acknowledge that FBSD 7 is late. The estimate was for 5 months ago. And if I say to someone I want to meet him at 8 o'clock but arrive 78 hours later, then I am late. Period. But as several community members already said: No one is really waiting for 7 so that the developers can take their time to make it as perfect as possible. So, but the original question was : What is not working _now_ at this moment so that 7 cannot be released _now_ ? The original question was not (I repeat NOT): Which international conspiracy is holding up the developers of FreeBSD 7 from releasing? Without discussing M. or the Illuminati and U.F.O.s and with that guaranteeing that the original question will never be answered you can concentrate on answering OR you can take your "finger" from the reply button/menue point/whatever and wait that maybe a developer will read the original posters mail and answer it. With a curious eye waiting for a real answer to the original question...
