Doesn't anybody bother to make release for themselves anymore?

Aside from the bandwidth savings there are other advantages to
meeting the prerequisites for making releases.  No way I'd give
up my inhouse cvs repo and cvsup mirror.

In an open source economy the code matters most.  IMHO, FreeBSD
goes much further than any other OS to making the source code
(and distribution generation) easily accessible and useful.

I was actually disappointed when the project caved in and returned
to putting ISO's online.  UTSL  :-) 

Cheers,
