Date: Wed, 15 Jul 98 15:36:00 EST Message-ID: <35AC4003@ypmail.nds.telecom.com.au> X-Mailer: Microsoft Mail V3.0 Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm on the freebsd-stable list to watch for actual problems that would keep me from installing the newest sources, but unfortunately most of it seems to be barely-on-topic chatting and arguing and other noise. Barely on topic? Yes. Noise? Well it depends on your definition. Recent discussions about the best 100Mb/s cards and the not-so-subtle differences between a '*' in the password file vs a '#', I, and I'm sure many others have found very useful. Would it be possible to start a list specifically for known problems with the current -STABLE code, perhaps announce-style so that only FreeBSD developers with clue can post to it? Surely this is where that stuff belongs but it would be a great pity for us mere unix mortals to lose the "noise." Perhaps there should be a FreeBSD-admins list?
