As I see this discussion now, it's a bunch of people jumping on the bandwagon if for no other reason that it happens to be driving through town and making a lot of noise, not that they personally had some burning problem with 3.0-RELEASE. In any case, I don't see that the discussion is productive in any way at this point and would very much appreciate it if we could just go on to something else. If people feel we're cooking our own goose then that's their perogative and they're always free to pursue another solution if they don't find this one to be "run" to their satisfaction. Utter perfection seems to be alluding everyone's grasp in the open source (and commercial) OS community, however, and I don't think that Mr. Jenner and his ilk will necessarily find that Debian or RedHat Linux (or even Solaris) are bug-free and 100% stable in every release. Expecting us to walk on water where everyone else usually sinks below the waves is just not realistic. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
