That will allow Branden to get on with XFree 3.3.3 , fixes for kernel 2.2.1 and FSSTND to be worked on for Potato a.k.a 2.2
I've just had a 1/2 hour conversation with one of my oldest friends who has been waiting on Slink: apropos the release cycle/freeze cycle - his candid opinion is that this one has been too long. OTOH, he didn't realise that Alpha/Sparc [ARM/M68K ??] would also be releasing. Let's bite the bullet - try for release on 21/22/23 Feb instead of 2 March ??
