 Hi,
 
 
 As announced before, a few big commits, that touch some thousands ports
 are being done: png, curl, x11, gnome, kde4. The target ETA is 6-7
 April. 

I didn't see any mial, but figured I'd check.  Are ports still unstable?

 a part of an air traffic control system.

I suspect that's a bad example, or that you mean an embedded aircraft
control system.  Ron Reisman and James Murphy gave a fine invited talk
at USENIX 02 (http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix02/tech/#11am) about
the growing number of UNIX components in the US ATC system.  I reject
the conclusion that the FAA is collectively insane for that reason.
