Just to clarify, are you saying that:

(1) We should not ever do an errata note + binary update for the most important of these bug fixes, just wait for them to ship in FreeBSD 8.3/9.1?

(2) We should do errata notes + binary updates for the most important of these bug fixes, but we need to let them settle for a while to ensure there are no unexpected consequences/etc?

Do we think that the impact of the USB 3.0 hub issue will be significant to our userbase -- e.g., excluding use of USB on many recent systems?

Thanks,

Robert
