Should release be delayed? Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2001 08:53:04 -0700 From: "Kevin Oberman" Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Seems like nobody has been able to reach ftp.freebsd.org for many hours and before connectivity was lost, performance made downloading the ISO nearly impossible. I hate to suggest this, but I think there should be a delay in 4.3 until there is a better chance for people to get the ISO and test it out. At the moment 4.3 looks like a potentially excellent release. I'd hate to see some trivial glitch in the final release mess that up because the final RC was almost completely untested.
