https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pkgbase/2016-April/000183.html It is very worrying to see such reports without any reaction from developers in one month before release. If there is one year till release, it is nothing. But in one month we will have code slush, and after that — release, which should be supported for several years! Also, suggested (and totally ignored in discussion) mechanisms with overlay packages is not UI, it is underlying mechanism which could be very useful. Again, I have nothing against good package management for base. But what I see now is scary, if you take one-month-before-release in account! -- // Lev Serebryakov
