Sounds reasonable, but I would prefer to change "386BSD Release 1.0 is expected out soon" to "386BSD Release 1.0 was announced as forthcoming; however, it is now 4 months late [...]" just to keep on the conservative side.

I would very much like to avoid flame fests, so please comment on specific parts which you feel could cause such fireworks. I have gotten great comments so far from a number of people, so I would like to incorporate yours as well.

I will try to post the revised outline within 3-4 days to see if there are no objections. t.
