It's always a judgement call, Paul, and has been since the very beginning. Sometimes it's been called wrong and the release engineer (among many others) gets bitton on the ass. Other times, it's called right and we all go "thank GOD that change made it in before we rolled!" As long as the number of times it's called right significantly exceeds the number of times it's called wrong, I'm a happy camper and so far that's thankfully been the case. We've been waiting for this particular change for a long time now and the impact was judged less severe then continuing to get beat up over not having it. If I called it right, everyone will probably just happily use it and I'll not hear another thing about it. If I called it wrong, I'll get flamed to toast. Such is the life of the RE. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
