There are some minor fixes being commited to HEAD, but they won't be in RELENG_5 because of code freeze. Will these fixes be incorporated to RELENG_5 after 5.3-RELEASE is out? 5.3R schedule says about October. Isn't it increasing a risk of `fixed-in-current-long-time-ago-but- -forgotten-MFC' hell? ;) Wasn't it better to branch both RELENG_5 (open) and RELENG_5_3 (frozen) and allow developers to put changes in RELENG_5 after playing in HEAD as usual, without the need of waiting to October? regards, -- Paweł Małachowski
