Could some of the core and near affinities keep up what they already do every now and then, and feed us snippets? Do we retain any of the flavour of the odd/even number state BSD4.1 etc did in terms of stability/feature-add? It feels not, but sometimes I'm less sure. You could do worse than have a variant of -announce for this too. looking forward to 4.5 -what I read suggests it will be a nice release. cheers -George To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
