Jordan, I think that all the people involved are as cautious as they can be, I don't think you will ever see a more stable -current. If people want to be on a child-proof bleeding edge, they got bigger problems than -current. > I do not speak as one who's hands are free of > blood, either.

Jordan, I don't think that -current has been as stable as it is now at any period I can ever remember, unless somebody had swung the titanium release-sword low over the heads of committeres for a long period of time. > Maybe > we could try to stagger these changes in a somewhat more coordinated > fashion?

But anyway, here goes: I intend to continue to isolate the scope of variables as far as I can get it. This may from time to time make a custom kernel uncompilable, as my test-set is GENERIC and LINT. I would also like to point out that we need a lot of user-space hackers too, so if people can't run -current on their box, there is still plenty of challenging tasks to jump on. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
