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.

Yeah, that's pretty much my thoughts on things. I'll be very happy once I can use 5.x because it's the only real option. Kind of off-topic, but does anyone here know anything more about the dynamic root sillyness? I do so hope that it remains an option, and is not made default in 5.2 or 5.3.
