Every so often in the release cycle were pre-release commitfest by jkh, because almost all the patches did through his hands. I'm not so sure he did commit/test cycle on each patch, this is unrealistic considering it as one-man job. Not that I want to diminish jkh long-time contributions to FreeBSD Project, just making sure you all don't get so excited about this model. -- Vallo Kallaste kalts@estpak.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
