Even though it's lacking CAM and some other ongoing work, it's still light years ahead of 2.2.X, with SMP, better performance, and many other worthwhile improvements. Dot-zero releases are usually buggy anyway, so why not just take that 980515 SNAP, get the ports collection in order, and call it 3.0 RELEASE? That would prevent bugs introduced by developers trying to make last-minute changes, which seems to happen with every release Jordan announces in advance. I think the 2.2.2 "stealth" release was one of the most stable ever. The ongoing -current work could later be called 3.1-RELEASE, or even 4.0-RELEASE. I have a feeling that one is six months away, which is a long time to wait for the good stuff that's already in -current now.
