Well, I've been debating whether to bring up the issue of doing a couple of "final" major updates to certain components. In particular: - sendmail 8.9.1(a) - bind 8.1.2 - ipfw forward (transparent proxy support for ipfw). On one hand, sendmail and bind8 are pretty much expected for line-of-fire systems, and their import won't mess up a subsequent official release. It will make life a bit easier for folks trying to use 2.2 systems in this role as they will stop having to fight with the build mechanism over which sendmail/bind it uses. On the other, it messes up people tracking 2.2-stable just for minor bug fixes and probably wouldn't appreciate arriving at work in the morning and discovering they've now got to reconfigure sendmail and bind and that ipfw now gives parameter size errors.
