I should also point out that lots of committers are very busy with the massive audit affort after last year's security incident. It'sunfortunate, but limited people are available and a huge amount of work is involved. Note that index building only restarted today and, then, only by using a non-FreeBSD.org system to do it. I don't know that this is the reason, but I do suspect it on all of the things that are not running or renning very slowly. -- R.
