is THIS why the 6.2 release seems stalled ?

Well... I already did this about 2 months back. After 2 years of
continuous desktop use (primary desktop) I ran into a problem (Xorg
DRI) that just completely burned me out corrupted file system through
multiple hard locks trying to debug FreeBSD). I broke down and
installed XP. The project has lost me as a desktop user. I do really
miss KDE, ports system, and the FreeBSD user tool chain but I cannot
come back, I've already upgraded my desktop hardware beyond that of
FreeBSD's capabilities. My servers are still 100% FreeBSD though...
But I am not sure how much longer this will be true.
