For the curious, I've updated the documents for HEAD and RELENG_6_1 on my completely unofficial Release Documentation site: http://people.freebsd.org/~bmah/relnotes/ (It's not updated as often as it once was, but for the moment it is current with respect to what's in CVS. In the event that I notice any changes to the release notes, I'll try to rebuild them.) > Just to keep waving the flag: the release is not yet finalized or out, > so things may yet change.

I want to reemphasize this point for folks. When I was a member of the RE team, we often saw weird things happening late in the process (I won't jinx the current team by citing examples). I know that a lot of people are anxiously awaiting 6.1-RELEASE and it's been a *long* release cycle...just be patient a little longer... Cheers, Bruce.
