Re: Grumblings
It was planned for 11.0, but people realized there were a few loose ends.
And FreeBSD generally doesn't like loose ends ;-)
As such, it will apparently mature over the 11-series.
I always sort of liked the way it is: base just a tar-ball, the rest packages, especially after pkg-ng started to arrive.
But doing freebsd-update on a lot of servers really takes the joy out of it a bit ;-)
