    If it turns into a flamefest I will terminate the topic (but I haven't
    said I'd do it yet).  Lets try to keep things on topic.

    My recommendation is to wait until we release in January before moving.
    While HEAD at this very moment may be stable, a lot of work is going
    into it and there is no guarentee that it will remain that way.

    For example, it is still unclear how the uname changes will effect
    pkgsrc.  And, for example, in the next day or two I will be replacing
    the VM page hash table with per-object Red-Black trees.
