I must admit I wonder how much current is actively used. I know I try to build a new up-to-date current every two or three weeks, but I don't do much more on it than test a few changes. I am certainly not "stress-testing" it. Almost all of my real day-to-day work is done on machines which are tracking -stable. I have no profound comment to follow that up with, other than I'm surprised that someone would think there are only 50 people who are "really running" current. I'm going to ask around a bit more. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
