Thanks to the efforts of several people, we're down to just under 300,
and since the freeze has been extended so that users will have the
chance to test packages with the next -BETA3, there's still plenty of
time to fix more packages.

I really encourage you all to take a look at

  http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-6-failure.html

and work on fixing some of these errors, to help give 6.0-RELEASE the
best possible ports collection during this period of testing and
improvement.
