It seems 2.2 took such a long time. How > long will it take until 3.0 comes out? As long? Less time? More time? I SMP done right takes time, it's *far* more complicated. I think 2.2 is going to be a nice piece of work and there's a lot that can be done in that line before SMP stabilizes. I would expect 2.x to have a pretty long life cycle. Just my guess, as anyone else's answer would be. Regards, Mike Hancock
