Thanks, I'll get those data in.

The incorrect leaving dates are due to my script-- it runs cvs diffs
of all versions of access, greps for the name and then looks for the
next occurrence of a $FreeBSD$ line-- these are December leaving
dates, the last of the year and obviously the script is looking in the
wrong direction. I'll correct it and get a new diff in hopefully
tonight.
