I believe the plan is to track the releases, though perhaps only in the repository.

In any case, you can now check that box on the checklist and move on with your life :-) -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
