   Your guess is as good as mine.  I've not heard a peep about it even
   when I've asked the NetBSD developers.

1) I don't recall ever seeing you ask.

2) The answer is, and has always been, `when it's ready'.  I have a
list of things in front of me which will be done before I am willing
to cut a release.  It got shorter last week; perhaps it will get
shorter this week, too.

3) There is a snapshot of NetBSD-current in:

sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu:/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386

for those who would like to try it but don't want to compile it.  It's
much more stable than 0.9, has shared libraries, etc.
