Well, I mean ... this seems to be a common thread in some of your past postings to the list. In your shoes, honestly, what I would do is hire someone from our consultants list and pay them for a support contract. IMHO that's the only way you're going to be able to rely on getting authoritative responses in a fixed time-period, i.e. quickly enough for you to be able to make your necessary business decisions. Asking for volunteer labor to do QA and regression testing on a fixed schedule, when you're not in the position to do those tasks themselves, is merely going to frustrate everyone, including yourself, in the long run. I mean, I'd really like to see it proven possible to make supporting FreeBSD a valid business model, just like it is for many other operating systems, for my own personal reasons if nothing else :-) mcl
