Anyone can say "its broken!".. Adrian, your other comments are smart and valid. Why is this kind of hyperbole necessary? I never said anything tragic or emergency or anything like that. I questioned the practicality of having a single supported release with significant known bugs in it. It will take pretty much all the time I spend supporting FreeBSD os and applications away to focus entirely on backporting security patches back to 6.2. I know of several other organizations facing the same problem. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness
