Did you read deeply into the strategy behind the releases? If I remember right, the odd numbers are a little bit more experimental compared to the even numbers. For myself, I try to stick with even numbers whenever possible. If I install FreeBSD on a serious machine, I never use x.0. It must be at least x.1.

So, I have the same wish as you and did not expect much more.

Never forget, if the people behind the scene never put a release out, we never have the chance to iron out the problems.

And now the fun. I even run 8.3 beta on my personal workstation. But I still would not put 9.0 on any machine I work with or give it to somebody else for this purpose.
