Rich: you sure have a vote and i certainly give you one. To sum thing up: - We don't release 3.2 as yet, postpone until May. - Release 3.1.1 now but don't build the CD set. There are several reasons for this: - as pointed out by others people are just about to install their 3.1-R; - this will mean not all the fixed go into 3.1.1 since pr's for 3.1-R will be dripping in the next few weeks (that's why i (among others) feel 3.2 is really bad at this time - rememeber this is the -stable branche); - people will experience this shiny disc overload as a waste: too expensive and may cancel their subscription; - changes aren't that huge (are they?) so people will be able to CVSUP. One wish would be for proper documentation on what's fixed when (other than the pr database - or make it more accessable for regular (that is non- contributing) users. I won't go into details is this was just intended to be a trunover boost for WC because I feel it certainly not ;) Cheers, -- laurens van alphen, craxx alphen@craxx.com, http://craxx.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
