I tried to stay out of the discussion about whether a 2.1.8 release was justified, but the last week's flurry of e-mail about lockups, memory leaks and the continuing Adaptec controller adventures persuades me that I'm not yet ready to commit my production machines to a 2.2.x release. I also must admit I have found no use for the "live filesystem" CD-ROM in my subscription. I freely admit that might be different if I didn't have a nice, full time (via MCI) connection to the 'net, but there you have it. That being said, here's what I'd prefer for my CD-ROM buying dollar. Yes, please, make a 2.1.8 release. I'm assuming it would be essentally what I have now on machines using CVSup to track RELENG_2_1_0. Drop the live filesystem from the subscription set. Ship 2.1.x and 2.2.x as the two CDs in the subscription set. When 3.0 graduates to release status, right-shift one on the CDs, and ship 3.0.x and 2.2.x as the subscription. That is, make the subscription be current release, and mature oldie-but-goodie. Let the subscribers decide which they want to install and run. -crl -- Chad R.
