I was thinking that we didn't need a formal approval process involving a release engineer, just agreement on the freeze and what it means, on the basis that doc/ is both a smaller tree and a smaller community than src/. If there's some concensus that having re approval would be good, murry and I wear both doc and re hats, although I can assure you that we both have plenty to do during the final stages of a release already! And like I wrote above, I'm not sure it's necessary. Bruce. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
