I think those who run Alpha should vote on Alpha. I do not run Alpha, and do not expect that I personally will get an Alpha machine. Still, I should have listed it, and I guess I should vote. Issue: e) Alpha should have a 64-bit time_t in 5.0-release My vote: 4.5 - but I am willing to be outvoted by the people who are actually running freebsd/alpha. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
