Using FreeBSD -head, once you discover a regression: 1. This new (buggy) code is still fresh in the developers memory, so it is easier for them to fix it; 2. It is a lot faster for them to push the fix into the -head; 3. Force us to run regression tests corresponding to your needs. (On this point, I'm testing some of the main features on regression lab like this one: https://bsdrp.net/documentation/examples/maximum_bsdrp_features_lab) And the FreeBSD -head code very often in a good shape, cf this talk: https://papers.freebsd.org/2019/bsdcan/looney-netflix_and_freebsd/ Regards, Olivier
