The last time I and others brought this up to Jordan, the tentative plan was to switch for 5.0. At this point in the game it is probably a bit late for 4.5, however, if you want to head up an effort to get test port builds done after the release with 4 as the default and get people to test it out then perhaps a switch could be done for 4.6. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
