I agree. It's reasonable to say you don't guarantee that it will work. It's unreasonable to go out of your way to make sure that it will *not* work. Personally, I want all the changes ru's been doing lately; he does good work, and it's elitist to force people to download gigabytes of intermediate release CDROMs to get to the -CURRENT release via an upgrade rather than a reinstall. The only thing you gain is trading in the people complaining about it not working as expected for people complaining that it's not working at all. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
