Yes, if it even gets that far. But you're putting the cart before the horse. When Scott posted the release schedule, I was not offering to build this for him (although I am interested enough to try/help/etc) I was suggesting that perhaps this issue deserves a priority focus, given the escalation of releases. You're saying "If you want to go to war in Iraq then hire a military" and I'm saying "I was just trying to see if there was agreement that Saddam is a bad guy" and more specifically "I have no desire to rush into Iraq without consensus" ;-) -- Jo Rhett senior geek SVcolo : Silicon Valley Colocation _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
