As some may have noticed, the 10.0-RELEASE cycle has slipped a bit
behind schedule.

What are the symptoms I might look for on FreeBSD-current?

Release engineering estimated dates ought to be updated on the website.

Better to wait for a solid 10.0-RELEASE than rush to a buggy release.

I am also concerned about the bug in re(4) driver.
