Having a few 7.3-RELEASE and 7.4-RELEASE servers I would like to see a 7.5-RELEASE that is supported to 2015 to prevent another major upgrade cycle . There are still freebsd developers working on 7-STABLE and its been reliable and working for me and I am sure a few other people. What could I do to help make 7.5-RELEASE a reality ? -- mark saad | nonesuch@longcount.org
