There's too much in 4.0-CURRENT that has changed from 3.x-STABLE, and there needs to be a major version bump. I'd prefer to release 4.0-CURRENT sooner, and then perhaps follow-up with a 4.1-CURRENT soon thereafter to pick up IPv6 and all the other things that we had hoped to put into 4.0-CURRENT, but just couldn't make it in time. More releases more often are better than indefinitely holding up releases waiting for just that one last thing to be finished. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
