The fact that we reject your request that we provide further support for 6.2 does not mean we did not understand the question. It is you who are not understanding the reply. What you are asking for is *SUPPORT* for 6.2. That implies that we need to guarantee we will spend time *WORKING* on 6.2. We see no benefit in doing that. We would much rather spend that time to improve things in 6.3, because 6.3 is one of the branches we are supporting. As soon as you can tell us how we "support" 6.2 without *working* on 6.2, then maybe you'll have a more attentive audience. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosehn@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
