Date: Fri, 18 Apr 1997 09:56:15 -0700 Message-ID: <17971.861382575@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The -stable branch seems to be ticking along still, something which I think is *good* since many customers of 2.1.7 still need a place to go for the critical bug fixes and -stable is a fine place to get them from, but I'm wondering if Yet Another Release along that branch (and I'm going to wise up and stop referring to anything on this branch as "the last release" :-) would be merited. This release would _not_ be done on CD since Walnut Creek CDROM is starting to accumulate too many FreeBSD CD products (yes, there are more coming out soon with things like CDE and AcceleratedX 3.1 on them) and I think they want to focus on 3-4 main titles. There are also the subscription customers to think of who probably don't want to start getting 2 CDs every 4 months. Anyway, given that proviso, what do those who are still running 2.1.x think of this? Jordan
