[-- Attachment #1 --] I've said about all I care to say about what *has* happened or what *should* have happened, maybe more than I should have. But now..... > Going forward, what do we do? > > 1.

I know little about the web site build, so I can't really comment on that. > 2. I don't know about the release-notes section of the tree.

Basically, I know how to fix RELNOTESng for 4-STABLE, but what the fix *is* will depend on the nature of what other actions are being taken. (RELNOTESng for -CURRENT is OK, as far as I've been able to tell.) So one of two things will happen: 1. If the I18N changes in doc/ get reverted, then there's nothing left for me to do, because the brokenness will get reverted as well. 2. If we keep the I18N changes in doc/, I will need a repo-meister to change some of the tags under src/release/doc, and then I need to patch three files in RELENG_4 (the same three files that ache patched under HEAD). It means that RELENG_4 is going to have a mixture of old-style and new-style locale names, but I don't think this is fatal. Either way I can fix things. So I'm waiting to hear what we're going to do for the rest of doc/ (either by consensus or fiat). At this point, I'm pretty agnostic. Bruce.
