Without providing details about *HOW* the release isn't stable, it isn't precice enough. I run FreeBSD-stable 3.1 every single day and have had no problems with instability that would cause a reboot every 24 hours. : While it did not contain enough information to solve the problem, there are : certainly possible solutions to it. For example, RELEASEs could be frozen a : bit longer prior to actual release. More effort could be made to obtain : wider testing for pre-RELEASEs. The RELEASE stream could be split off of : STABLE earlier and allowed to stabilize without bouncing STABLE around with : it. Without knowing exactly what the problem is, any attempts at finding a solution is just pissing in the wind. A vauge report that things are instable is not enough to reproduce squat, nor is it enough to know what the instability is. Hell, for all I know, he could be running his system by a Van der Graaf generator which is causing the instability.
