I am similarly amazed at how impatient some people are with the FreeBSD project. Consider M$ in comparison - they are almost ALWAYS late for their promised deadlines - still deliver a $#!Tload of bugs in the late code, never apologise, and still charge you a fortune for the privilege. I'll WAIT a few days for FreeBSD anytime! Jordan and the gang - just you keep doing what you know is best! Patrick.
