(This'll determine whether or >not I'll build and install the 3/10 -current and kernel). Both. Some of them have been around since 2.0, and some of them were noticed in just the last few weeks. I think the number of recently introduced bugs (recent = last month) is very small and old bugs are still being found. I would estimate -current to be more stable than 2.0 but not as stable as 1.1.5. I think there is at least a full month of work to do before even considering 2.1-alpha...and another month before 2.1R is ready (we're not going to do a 2 week alpha-to-release this time). -DG
