Please remember that: * the people generally pushing changes back down into RELENG_6 are doing so to (hopefully) fix bugs that they see in their production environments; * So the project is (in theory) being driven by people who have real needs and don't mind sharing; so * If you'd like to see this happen then please take charge and offer to trial it. :) Adrian -- Adrian Chadd - adrian@freebsd.org
