15.3. What is FreeBSD-current NOT?
- A fast-track to getting pre-release bits because you heard there is
some cool new feature in there and you want to be the first on
your block to have it.
- A quick way of getting bug fixes.
- In any way ``officially supported'' by us.
We do our best to help people genuinely in one of the 3
``legitimate'' FreeBSD-current categories, but we simply do not
have the time to provide tech support for it.
This is not because we are mean and nasty people who do not like
helping people out (we would not even be doing FreeBSD if we were),
it is literally because we cannot answer 400 messages a day
and actually work on FreeBSD! I am sure that, if given
the choice between having us answer lots of questions or continuing to
improve FreeBSD, most of you would vote for us improving it.
