Hey Daniel-- I think that what I wrote is grammatically correct, in that "4 February 2005" modifies "OpenBSD snapshot". I don't have any objections if you want to change it, although in your text you should probably do s/in OpenBSD snapshot/in an OpenBSD snapshot/. Also I personally don't write dates as "February 4th 2005" but I'm probably not the right person to wave the consistency banner either. :-) I'll think about it some more when I'm next in the file (if you haven't already changed it, that is). (This text now exists on HEAD, RELENG_6, and RELENG_5.) Thanks! Bruce.
