The version numbering scheme is odd. For example, there is a 5.2 and a 5.2.1 Perhaps the release after 4.9 should have followed the same pattern - It would have been nice to see it progress something like this: 4.8, 4.9, 4.9.1, 4.9.2 and so on. The 4.9, 4.10 and soon to come 4.11 RELEASES will likely confuse the new users to FreeBSD. -- Best regards, Chris
