Of course it was necessary, after the freeze it would have been too late fo= r=20 getting this into 5.3-Release (which is a PITA to upgrade to anyway, but=20 without nice instructions how to maneuvre around the pitfalls). And people= =20 have been asking for it repeatedly on more than one list (and on IRC).=20 Why the ports-freeze has to start in three days, given how huge the=20 5.3-RELEASE ToDo list still is, is a better question IMHO. The PITA thing is a matter of personal opinion I guess, I wrote the=20 instructions in UPDATING so it would _not_ become a PITA to do the upgrade= =20 and so people would _not_ be dumbstruck by things acting a bit offbeat when= =20 they run them after the update the first few times. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart1170104.i3CtQTfGMR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBNDZmXhc68WspdLARAp7jAJ48tIXvsyKAiJyIcZMmP6a/7nBrZQCfcn9i isFbJBIVGusLgrBJpQONBuQ= =VEbK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1170104.i3CtQTfGMR--
