Maybe i needed a refresher. I can certainly understand the developers loosing interest when they are denied the ability to work on what they are themselves interested in. Perhaps a frequent release cycle is the answer. However, i think things should stay in -CURRENT a bit longer before they make it to -STABLE, i.e. the openbsd dhcp client import caused a lot of problems. In any case, i am grateful to all the contributors and quite happy with what FreeBSD is today, so there wont be any more complains from me on this subject, i vented my steam, and got a refresh on reality.
