:- 4.0-Release was just testing release, if I don't miss something. And
:- bridge options will be not supported on it. 

If at all possible, could you please make sure that 4.1-RELEASE stays
supported?  It is absolutely impossible (for operational reasons) for
us to run -STABLE.

Also, could you modify your port so that it issues an error message if
it is installed on a version that it doesn't support.  Your latest port
merrily installs on 4.0-RELEASE, but it doesn't run on 4.0-RELEASE.

It would also be good to change the DESCRIPTION file to mention OS version
dependencies.

A final suggestion: it would be great to maintain a version that *does* work
on 4.0-RELEASE, even if it doesn't support bridging.  I'm sure there are
other sites like ours that can't jump on new FreeBSD releases immediately.

Thanks!
