    Some of you may have noticed the creation of the RELENG_4_9 branch on
    the src/ tree. This is, of course, the release branch for FreeBSD
    4.9, which will become the security-fix branch at some point after the
    release.

    Please remember that this does *not* mean that FreeBSD 4.9 is
    ready. It's not official until release tags are down, distributions
    have been built and uploaded to the FTP sites, and, most importantly, a
    PGP-signed release announcement has been sent to the freebsd-announce@
    mailing list. There's still a bit of work to be done to get to this
    point, such as changing version numbers, testing, the actual builds,
    more testing, and so on.

    Bruce.

    PS. Just me talking now...to answer the question that is probably
    foremost in many of your minds:

    I don't have an exact date for the release. Stay tuned.

    :-)
