I was reading the "Design and Implementation of the 4.3 BSD" system long ago, when I was amazed to discover that CSRG had been making their BSD releases available when they felt that "they were worth to be released" and not because there was a pending deadline. It's nice to be able to have a new cdrom with shining daemons on the cover every now and then, but it's better to have it when one feels that the production quality and stability that -STABLE has had until now will not be lost in the upgrade. > Jordan and the gang - just you keep doing what you know is best! > > Patrick. My vote added here too. Thank you Jordan, and all that have given their best efforts to make the release of 4.4 happen. You know that we're indebted to you all, but saying loud now and then it does not hurt anyone. - giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
