If you're looking for stability in a production environment stay away from
current for a little while as there is a lot of new activity including
vm/vfs/cam/softupdates/elf/posix/microtime/alpha/sparc that's going to
take a little while to settle even with careful planning and testing. 

I think thread work is suspended until some dependent underlying vm
projects are completed. 

Regards,


Mike
