Well, I mean ... this seems to be a common thread in some of
your past postings to the list.

In your shoes, honestly, what I would do is hire someone from
our consultants list and pay them for a support contract.
IMHO that's the only way you're going to be able to rely on
getting authoritative responses in a fixed time-period, i.e.
quickly enough for you to be able to make your necessary business
decisions.  Asking for volunteer labor to do QA and regression
testing on a fixed schedule, when you're not in the position
to do those tasks themselves, is merely going to frustrate everyone,
including yourself, in the long run.

I mean, I'd really like to see it proven possible to make supporting
FreeBSD a valid business model, just like it is for many other
operating systems, for my own personal reasons if nothing else :-)
