Michelle, I sympathize, but you're also not taking any responsibility for that situation. All those transitions were announced years in advance. I seem to recall you were completely unaware of those plans, and if that is accurate, it's something you should have been aware of as the administrator of real world production servers. There was always the option of freezing the tree and pulling in the security updates manually until you were ready to migrate to pkg(8) too. So there were other options and from my vantage point, you were in control of your destiny. (Heck, I'm sure you could have found "consultants" to keep old trees working to your specifications for not nearly what it cost to migrate.) Anyway, I understand the frustration but I think there is plenty of blame to go around. John
