It's mostly unimportant, not gratuitous. I agree. The problem is the persistently inappropriate semantic label "STABLE" applied to the RELENG_ branch. It isn't stable -- gratuitously updating on a weekly or daily basis is for hobbyists. It's known to break things now and then. The idea of holding pending MFCs until we're in RC stage is far worse. If you're interested in stability, you'll track RELENG_4_5, as Mike suggests. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
