FreeBSD Robert Watson posted another bi-weekly version of the FreeBSD 5.2 open issues list, slightly restructured. At this time, there are four "show stopper defects" listed: panics when building ata-raid arrays, ATAng crashdump causes disk corruption, pipe/VM corruption on Alpha, and lingering PSE instability. There are only 5 issues left of on the "required features" list: KSE support for sparc64, KSE support for alpha, Fine-grained network stack locking without Giant, MAC framework devfs path fixes, and ACL_MASK override of umask support in UFS.

It looks like 5.2 wont be in the stable tree. Here is a link to the road map.

Waiting for the performance enhancements till 5.3. I can wait. Waiting for the quality that FreeBSD puts out. And glad to do so. Keep up the good work.
