Regarding >3.5 though, is there even going to be a 3.5? I'm under the impression that >4.0 will be the next release, is this incorrect? 4.0 will be next, but since it won't be well tested in production applications many users will stay with the 3.x-STABLE branch until 4.2 or later. We have a policy: we never install a point release of FreeBSD less than .2 on a production system. This isn't because earlier releases on a branch are NECESSARILY bad, but because releases after .1 tend to be more stable and have fewer surprises. We waited until 3.3 before moving our first servers to 3.x because of a rash of fixes that were made shortly after 3.2 came out. Once 4.0-RELEASE comes out, I'm hoping that folks will take the time to polish up 3.5 and make it a "golden" release. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
