	Nope, April 15th is for the members, the general public has to wait

	No but that still would leave those of us who want to debug the

	The client librarys aren't the problem. I've got gobs of patches
	for X11R5 and off_t stuff the x86 guys cranked out. The trouble is
	the server. If I install the off_t includes to make the clients the
	server will hurl on the librarys produced. B^(.

	But I want my cake, X11, and to eat it to, work on the 64/32/32
	kernel and librarys to debug things and clean it up.
