No, I would like -STABLE to be treated as what it is claimed to be - BETA code, not ALPHA code. There's a huge difference between the two, and MFCing something back to -STABLE without testing the <BASIC> functionality of the module you're working with first does not fit the BETA model (it DOES fit the Alpha model.) This is coming from someone who has run FreeBSD in a production environment for basically 10 years, and has even sometimes used -CURRENT during that time (with full knowledge that running THAT is, indeed, ALPHA code!) -- -- Karl Denninger ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Internet Consultant & Kids Rights Activist http://www.denninger.net My home on the net - links to everything I do! http://scubaforum.org Your UNCENSORED place to talk about DIVING! http://genesis3.blogspot.com Musings Of A Sentient Mind _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
