I do not know of any webpages or anything that tell you this, nor does any given time in the -STABLE branch get as much testing as a -RELEASE.. Like I said earlier, I actually do track -STABLE, but unless they're using 4.0, etc. I can see why one would stick with the -RELEASE.. (although I would never stick with a ?.0-RELEASE :)) Cheers, -JD- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
