At this point, tjr assented to waiting, Not only did he assent, but he said MULTIPLE TIMES in multiple messages that he had decided to wait until 6.0. I think he even asked people to stop complaining because he had agreed to wait. > B. but others mentioned that if we're going to do it, let's > do it before 5.3 so that 5-stable looks more like what we > want it to look. >6. I heard no objections to 5. I heard no objections to 5A. People didn't object to 5B, because they thought 5A pretty much settled the matter. Particularly after tjr said "HEY, I've already agreed to wait!". ongoing disclaimer: I personally don't care about doscmd... Don't bring it back on my account. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
