All of my production machines are currently running releng/10.1. This release has at least two severe (for me) problems: - An external USB 3.0 HD enclosure never negotiates successfully for USB 3.0 when connected. This worked better in 9.2 (PR: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D196332) - A serious kernel memory allocation issue involving VirtualBox which did not exist in 9.2 (PR: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D195970) At least the first one might already be corrected in stable/10, but, the release engineering page https://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html tells me that 10.2 is planned only for November 2015 (and 11.0 for July 2016). So my question is, would it be possible to have a somewhat less drawn-out release schedule? Maybe at fixed times twice during the year, so that a certain rhythm will evolve? Regards, Martin
