Then we'd never release anything.

Even though -current has kept on going, there are still a large number of=
=20
features in 2.0 compared to 1.6. Like threads. So I see there is still a=20
lot of value in the 2.0 release.

A lot of changes to -current have been getting back-ported to the 2.0=20
branch, so in many ways it's not that far back. Most of the change that=20
haven't been pulled back are ones that are considered too destablizing to=
=20
feed in.

The main problem has been with the IPF changes. A number of niggles have=20
shown up that haven't resolved quickly.

Take care,

Bill
