Here's an open bug report from someone else who thinks the same way I do: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=conf/53197 Even if you disagree with me, check out the CVS commits to standard-supfile: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile A very common entry is something to the effect of: "The 'standard-supfile' should track its own branch." (As Colin Percival just point out:) From the inception of the security release branch with RELENG_4_3, every release *but* 5.1 has had standard-supfile point to the security release branch. That's 8 releases in my favor vs. 1 release in your favor. I win ;-). I'd wager a lot of folks used to 4.x giving 5.x a try would get bitten by this, accidentally upgrading to -CURRENT and possibly hosing their systems as a result. In any case, the only color for the shed is midnight blue. Jon
