In practice this doesn't happen. If there is some clever way for that to happen, we haven't found it yet. It has happened in the past that even as the release bits were propogating, One Last Big Bug was found and those bits had to be pulled and re-done. It would have looked like you had FreeBSD Release X.Y but you wouldn't have had the final bits that everyone else did. I understand your frustration that this process takes days, and in general the frustration with this particular release -- more than you could possibly believe. However, until we figure out the process that would exist in an ideal world, this is what we have, and so if you need something that will be in 9.1, your options at this moment are: build an install from 9-STABLE; find one of the snapshots (and no, I am not the one to ask, sorry); or wait. Sorry, but that's the best I can offer right now. mcl
