     This, I don't believe.  First, I can't remember any NetBSD
release being on schedule.  Second, it's only 2.5 months aways, and
crosses the christmas holidays, when nothing happens, but the process
hasn't even been started (i.e. there has been no announcement about,
or a date given for feature freeze and branching of the CVS tree).
Third, people are reporting major problems with egcs and UVM.  Given
these factors, I don't see how 1.4 could possibly be released in
mid-January.

     I wouldn't.  It's not reasonable to expect a third party
developer to support a development version of the OS.  He may wish to
port to -current, so that he can support 1.4 right after it comes out;
but, not actually release code until 1.4 ships.
