Right, and here I think we have the crux of the matter:

There is a lot of water between: "doesn't build, doesn't run" and "always compiles, rock stable"

And I think we can pressume that we'll end somewhere in the middle.

I am sure that all members of the SMPng crowd understand that leaving the rest of the FreeBSD developers stranded for more than a few days (worst case a week) at a time is simply not a good idea for anybody, right ?

I mean, the SMPng people will want people to beat the snot out of their chances and if people cannot built and run -current, how are they supposed to test it ?

So, Warner and everybody else: Calm down, nobody is closing the development in FreeBSD project down for half a year.

Matt and the rest of the SMPng crowd:

Give us some more concrete details.

Don't commit anything until people have had a chance to look at it and test it (normal procedure for large-scale changes applies 100% here) In particular a lot of people are at USENIX, nothing should be committed until they have caught up with their email.

And promise that you'll make sure that -current is usable as much of the time as possible for the rest of the developers.
