The FreeBSD Project is a volunteer effort. It is currently supporting 4.11, 5.5, 6.1, preparing to release 6.2 and developing 7.x. You cannot demand that volunteers do anything - they work on FreeBSD because they enjoy it. If your business is relying on FreeBSD 4.11 and you do not believe the _free_ support you have been getting is adequate, you are always welcome to look through the list at http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/consult_bycat.html and find someone to provide whatever level of support you want. --=20 Peter Jeremy --5gxpn/Q6ypwruk0T Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFi5a//opHv/APuIcRAgAdAJ4kffN9j+IvYrHl5qqIgqYoK8y8zwCdFs4e U7BRKox1S/eDeobrniTl6rY= =92fn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5gxpn/Q6ypwruk0T--
