  <heading>Why is the -stable branch ending with 2.1.7? </heading>
  <p>
    While we'd certainly like to be able to continue both branches of
    development, we've found that the version control tools available to 
    us are not particularly well-suited for this; in fact, they quickly 
    result in a maintenance nightmare for any branch which lives much 
    beyond 2-3 months. The -stable branch has, by contrast, lasted for 
    well over a year and what little sanity the FreeBSD developers have 
    left would be in serious jeopardy if we continued in this way.  
    Perhaps in the future we'll figure out another model which gives 
    everyone what they want, and we are working on such a model, but in 
    the meantime it's probably best to think of -stable coming to an end 
    with 2.1.7-RELEASE.
