From the FreeBSD "current" mailing-list ...

"FreeBSD 5.3 is about to be announced this weekend and will signal the true
kick-off of the 5-STABLE and 6-CURRENT series. [...]
The proposal that I and Poul-Henning have
set forth is to stop gating releases, both major and minor, or features,
and instead gate them on a schedule that is both reasonable and timely.
New -STABLE branched will be made on a calendar-based time line, and
point releases on those branches will be made at regular intervals. We
are still debating the exact time line, but it will fall somewhere
between doing a new -STABLE branch every 12-18 months, and doing point
releases every 4-6 months."

I see it's already on the mirrors for a few hours. The rush is about to hit. :squarewin
