Sorry for wasting your time, but why is there such a big difference between= =20 =2Dstable and RC2? Shouldn't RELENG_5 be the same as _5_3_0_RELEASE and _5= _3=20 at that time? Is the network locking data structure changes really in RC2? I see many=20 changes only appearing in -stable also many ata-fixes only seem to be in=20 =2Dstable (RELENG_5).
