We can't start on 6.0-current until there's a 5.x-stable, and at this point 5.x-current is pretty much off-limits for really major (disruptive) changes. So, we really do understand your interest in getting a 5.x-stable. It is very likely that 5.3-release will be the start of the stable branch. We are probably not ready to make a public promise about that just yet, but certainly a lot of developers have their own private vows that "this is going to be it!". -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
