the errata page on the web anyway, so it's *not* too late to update
it.
How convenient. These problems needed to be addressed in the release
notes, not some on line version.

You've just entered into my "do not read" bucket. If you can't see
that errors occur, then I pity _anyone_ who codes for you... Or
perhaps you never make a mistake. That must be it.
While I tend to agree with regards to poor attitude (see similar threads
in almost any open source forum on the topic of "demanding" anything
from a volunteer project), Mike is obviously quite passionate about and
has the interests of FreeBSD at heart, and for that I cannot blame him
at all. He seems to have a disagreement with handling of the release
process, which is the same recurring issue every time there is a release
and probably the #1 cause of burnout with the Release Engineer of the day.
Historically, you can see that the current process works though, even if
it may not produce the 100% perfect -RELEASE it at least guards against
more serious problems that have happened in the past that were
introduced by last minute and untested changes.
