This could lead to folks simply downloading FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT because it was advertised on freshmeat and then finding out that their computer doesn't even boot because of some problem with a new 4.0-CURRENT feature. Then, thanks to freshmeat, we might actually lose the prospect of a new FreeBSD user. However, it would be VERY nice (IMO) if freshmeat announced 3.3-RELEASE later this year. THEN users would be on a polished FreeBSD OS (certainly we could lose them for another reason, but that's not the issue here ;). -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
