What with all the version inflation going on in the Linux world, I have an idea for FreeBSD. Forget 4.3-STABLE. Skip to 4.4. And rather than calling it FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE, call it 4.4FreeBSD. That way, we can show off the roots of FreeBSD and make it sound cool, too! Or, we can stop people from asking, "Why is RedHat in version 7, Mandrake almost in version 8, and FreeBSD only in 4?" (assuming RedHat users even know what FreeBSD is). Just call the next release FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE or FreeBSD 2001-STABLE. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
