That's awesome news- no need to rush a good thing with 9.2 :)

My question was about the 10.x release schedule suddenly being front and center, (with aggressive dates at that!). Why the apparent push?

Commentary:

It's confusing to new users, as well as old farts like me.

Getting a chance to put a REL to use, and not just dev on it, o spend lifer upgrading, is very important to sustaining the project.  If we don't get to use (and maintain) the OS, what's the point of it's existence?

So, being more positive- what's happening that gets three major versions of one OS, up on the FreeBSD  homepage even?  What's the rush?
