	I like this idea, with the caveat that perhaps the one on
ftp.freebsd.org would be one or two days old so that people d/l'ing
them have a reasonable chance of avoiding *new* bugs as opposed to the
very valid situation that Jordan mentioned of not stumbling over old
ones that are already fixed.  You should probably also have a pointer
in a text file telling people how to get the very latest from the
22releng machine.  And the 2.2.5-date-BETA idea that Joseph came up
with is a very good one as well. :)

	And speaking of bugs.... I get the impression that the (now)
2.2.5-beta code is pretty stable at this point?  I ask beause I've got
a production machine (dedicated for ircd) coming back on line wednesday
or thursday that I could put the beta code on as long as there aren't
any last-minute oddities that have snuck in there. :)

Doug
