Obviously this rule But that model breaks down for a lot of situations. I don't want to encourage people to just slam-bam commit everything into -stable that goes into -current since it's: A) inappropriate in a number of cases (there are quite a few things which will NEVER be merged to -stable and should not be) B) not something which should happen until something has been TESTED in -current first. Merging has to happen, yes, but in only a structured way which has committers willing to make notes to themselves about committing things into -stable after a suitable grace period and/or only when it's clearly suitable to -stable. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
