:> I think that once DragonFly goes "production", users will want
:> branches. They'll want something like the freebsd-security
:> (or maybe call it freebsd-safe) branch.

:I'm not sure that will be needed once we vfs layering is complete along

:via a tagging inside the packaging system. Hence everything in the system
:will have a tag on it. ex:
:`whencefrom /bin/sh`
:
:"src/bin/sh/main.c 1.25
:Not uptodate; current: 1.27
:Download [Y/N]
Ok, I see what you are getting at. I think we definitely want to
push security updates through the packaging system, but I think
that is a separate issue from cvs tagging. In fact, security updates
to the base system via the packaging system could be driven from CVS.
