Great!

What to say about fresh user without much unix
background...
Excellent example of rocket science where simple sling would
suffice.

Thank you Gentlemen. It's high time to think the NetBSD
over.

Why the acid comments?
And what was the problem here? That one person misremembered
the nameing 
scheme of branches and releases?
Do you think you can do it better?

People quite immediately stepped up to the plate and gave
all the 
correct information anyone could ever ask for.

I don't bother much with your gripes with documentation and
whatnot, but 
this comment seemed just so bad and misinformed that I just
can't take 
it anymore.

Why don't you go and play with (and bother) the Linux people
instead?
You're obviously not happy with anything, and want
everything done some 
other way (I feel like you want it done some way you've seen
something 
else done, and I'm guessing you're looking at Linux, or
something 
equally chaotic.)

So, you don't understand it implies it's broken?

It's actually very easy; each branch starts with a certain
tag; netbsd-x-base
tags (on HEAD) for netbsd-x major branches and
netbsd-x-y-RELEASE tags (on
those major branches) for netbsd-x-y security branches.  No
magic involved,
and it works very well for us (releng) as well as other
users.
