Are you talking about the reported freeze in serial console after languagechooser, or just a general, non-user-visible cleanup? The former could be an errata item, or could even be fixed for non-i386 ports like mips for which serial console is more important than it is for i386. The latter is not user visible, and like many random developmental changes, is not something we will hold the beta for, or allow into the beta. You have had 2 months since the last beta to make these changes. > I think it is good to get beta 2 out the door, but also experience > that it is foolish to ignore the problems caused by the breakin (still > packages stuck in the NEW queue) I am not aware of any packages stuck in the NEW queue; I have in fact worked with several of the ftp-masters to get dozens of packages through NEW with no delays over the past two weeks. -- see shy jo
