29 Well, thank you for your concern Edgar, however in the future would
30 you please at least look at all the work that went into the release of
31 this. There were months of testing by the releng team in association
32 with the arch teams to ensure that as much was ready to go. I'd like
33 to also point out a few people who went above the call on x86 to get
34 things filed. Ryan Hill (dirtyepic) filed many many many bugs as
35 blockers for 4.1.1 going stable at my request. The Archtesters for all
36 teams as well worked very hard testing things to make sure they worked
37 as w ell. Before it went stable, almost all were stabilized if they
38 could be. There are a few packages not ported yet in the games
39 category but we weren't going to let that stop the progress either.

41 Quite frankly saying that we didn't do enough testing, is a insult to
42 everyone who worked on this release. No release is going to be perfect
43 for us as a project, what we have attempted and I believe been
44 successful with is making the transition as painless as possible.
