Hello! I have heard that 7 is very stable since november and much better (perfomance wise since GIANT lock have been deleted completely) since that time. Is it true? Also, how to cvsup the sources? I tried RELENG_7 and HEAD tags and no sources and docs fetched at all. Which is the correct tag? -- Regards, Artem

It is pretty stable right now for the most part since we're in a code freeze, but you might want to wait for the first beta before you jump in. Also, GIANT is still there in some places, but a LOT fewer now than before. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
