I would also be content > with RUTABAGA or BEET. Only if we also rename -STABLE and -CURRENT to match. Personally, I like flightless birds - preferably extinct - but I can understand why that doesn't appeal to others. Leaving it at -RELEASE isn't all that bad. The original complaint was that it was a surprise. As others have noted, we deal with that kind of thing all the time. Either way, -RELEASE is what's approved by the release engineer. We will have to change the documentation to match, though. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
