Not really. What we have *now* is: * 2.1-STABLE will become 2.1-RELEASE * 2.2-CURRENT aka "the Bleeding Edge(tm)". What we will [probably] have is * 2.2-CURRENT become 2.2-STABLE after 2.1-RELEASE is out. It is intended to be 2.2-RELEASE one day. When 2.2-STABLE begins its life, 2.3-CURRENT will begin and so on. Note as I'm not part of the core team so what is above are only my thoughts, they may want to change the numbers :-) -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #5: Mon Oct 30 00:03:29 MET 1995
