Other people feel the exact opposite and we want FreeBSD to be broadly usable, so we will have to spend time and effort to both sides. >Perhaps once the scheduling and pthread stuff has been >solidified, a "stable base" release should be made? >Meaning that the release as a whole should still be >considered unstable, but using the as-shipped "stable" >kernel config, things should be nice and solid? You know, I also wish we could sysctl kern.rfc748=1 and then se our users smile happy smiles.

Well, if you look carefully, you'll see a similar sign hung over the FreeBSD committers.
