While the project has been taking a mighty long time to get to "5.x-stable", I do think we should make it to "6.x-stable" before 2038... I do wish we could go for 64-bit times. However, I do not agree that we can just keep tossing in major API changes to the 5.x branch. We will never get to 5.x-stable if we constantly add major API changes to the 5.x branch. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
