Adrian, your other comments are smart and valid.  Why is this kind of  
hyperbole necessary?

I never said anything tragic or emergency or anything like that.  I  
questioned the practicality of having a single supported release with  
significant known bugs in it.

It will take pretty much all the time I spend supporting FreeBSD os  
and applications away to focus entirely on backporting security  
patches back to 6.2.   I know of several other organizations facing  
the same problem.
