Remember that this is -STABLE, though so things don't want to be just rushed in. That breaks things for people. The changes need to be made carefully and tested. Not only that, but the software needs to be tested in isolation outside of the FreeBSD tree first, as well. There's a lot to be said for not being first to rush new software into everything. -Dom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
