freebsd stable - Aug 2009 - Update - RELENG_8 open for business (but you probably noticed)

Just a quick status update from the release engineering team:

As was discussed on this mailing list, problems with the Subversion->CVS 
exporter arose during the RELENG_8 branching process.  These have now been 
resolved, and for the last day or so, pending bug fixes have been rushing into 
the branch.  We'll wait a couple more days while things catch up, and then
cut
8.0 BETA3.

You can read more about the status of 8.0, including tracking pending and 
approved fixes, on the 8.0 release engineering wiki:

Your help in testing, diagnosing, and fixing FreeBSD 8.x problems *before* the 
release is much appreciated!
