    there will however be a RELENG_4 branch still active for those of us who
    need to
    continue generating 4.x based releases for ourselves..
    I'm assuming security patches goin gto 4.11 will also go there.

    While a 4.12 will PROBABLY not happen, I do plan on continued MFCs of
    important
    changes to RELENG_4 as I do not envision my custommers moving to 5.x
    until some
    time in 2006 at the earliest. (Including fixes from dragonfly, and
    possibly some new drivers
    and thing like USB fixes.
