To me, 'tesing' is something that takes anywhere from several weeks to several months to do and often involves hundreds of machines, configurations, and load mixes. Perhaps to some others, 'testing' means that the code compiles and the system boots up without panicing. For -current, perhaps the fast-and-loose definition is appropriate. For -stable that is nearing a 'x.9' release, I think my definition (very conservative) should be the standard. By that definition, the PAE changes should be promptly removed (and should have been when the first signs of trouble showed up). -DG David G.
