I thought I would change the threadname to something closer
to the content it has now comprised.
One suggestion, rather than the top-driven rolodex oriented thing,
is to do what X does, and have a two-step release strategy. Release
``Core'' FreeBSD at time T0, and release the ``contributed'' software
(The ports directory with the ``essential'' ports excepted, drivers,
filesystems, etc...) at time T1. Between T0 and T1 the people who
own these things (on anyone else who cares) port them to the new
release of FreeBSD. This is a more bottom-driven way, and it
husbands the resources of the FreeBSD group.
