And what is wrong with I've already explained in a previous email that releases are an integral part of the process which improves FreeBSD. If they didn't happen on a reasonably frequent basis, FreeBSD would never reach its quality targets for a given branch in anything approaching a reasonable period of time. > Come to find out, after installing my systems via ftp.
