Why snapshot files...

[Albert Shih]

Hi all

Why the README.softupdates and README.snapshot file is never update ?

[root at freebsd1 ffs]# ls -ltr

[root at freebsd1 ffs]# pwd
/usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs

I ask this because in the README.snapshot we can read 

*************************************************************
As is detailed in the operational information below, snapshots
are definitely alpha-test code and are NOT yet ready for production
use. Much remains to be done to make them really useful, but I
wanted to let folks get a chance to try it out and start reporting
bugs and other shortcomings. Such reports should be sent to

Is the status have change ?
