Well, not quite.

I'm working right now (in case anyone had any doubts after seeing the
sysinstall commits :-) on the 2.2-960321-SNAP CDROM, and my first test
installations have been fairly promising, modulo the already-reported
problems with tzsetup.  I also grabbed the packages-current directory
off of ftp.cdrom.com yesterday and burned it onto a CD so that I have
it handy - I'm basically going to put everything you saw on the last
CD snapshot (the one I had on freefall for awhile) on there plus the
packages plus perhaps a few other last minute goodies.  Then we're
going to do a run of about 900 of them and make them available to
developers in the next 2 weeks or so (assuming that we can get a fast
turn from the production plant).

Oh yeah, as usual the core team and major contributors will get
freebies, though I have to say that I can't be quite so generous with
this batch due to the very small run and lower profit margin, so
please (not you Nate, but -hackers and -ports in general) don't deluge
me with requests if all you have is a port or 10 line bug fix in
there.  I can afford to be generous with major releases because
they're produced in about 10 times the quantity and have a much longer
shelf-life.  Hope everyone understands.

These will be going for $24.95 for one-time purchase and $19.95 for
subscription (plus the usual $5 S&H).  This now ends my commercial
announcement.. ;-)
