This is the only piece of bad news I see in your reply. Does that mean =20= I'll have to keep applying patches every time I want to upgrade my 5.3 =20= (and 4.x) systems, with the risk that it stops working at some point - =20= and no updated patch is immediately available? Or does it mean it will go into the RELENG_5 tree after 5.3-RELEASE =20 (which is perfectly OK obviously)? > I hope that's ok for you. Sure, at the end of the day, I can't have everything I guess - I'll =20 make do with what comes. Thanks for your quick reply! /Eirik=
