Perhaps 386bsd is effectively obsolete, but it is not officially
obsolete is it? Have the Jolitzes officially abandoned release 0.2?
It was promised for last June. Release dates can slip of course.
It would be nice if the Jolitzes would provide a progress report
or at least a report of their intentions. Has anyone heard one way
or the other about their plans?
