A brief summary is generally sufficient for tracking -stable. Even if you triple your work by reading all of cvs-relevant, there's no easy way to distinguis things relevant to -stable from things that aren't going to be MFC'ed, leading to information overload. The net result is the same either way - you have to go through the commit logs by hand if you want to know what really happened to -stable. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
