Re: HEADS UP! [Fwd: cvs commit: www/en/releases/5.1R schedule.sgml]

Scott (et. all on the RELENG team),

It would have been nice that since ports was also frozen, that folks 
were notified in STABLE and ANNOUCE as well. I went looking through the 
archives trying to dig up an announcement of this, and of course, could 
find any. For those who rely upon CVSuping ports, especially in the case 
of security fixes (to numerous to name right now), this may have also 
been a good this to mention to that list as well. Maybe for 5.2 this can 
be put in the "Things To Do" list for release engineering (I think there 
used to me a line item where appropriate mailing lists wer notified).

Other than that, keep up the good work... looking forward to a bootable 
and stable 5.x release for this darned laptop I'm stuck on. :-)

Cheers,

David A. Koran
