FreeBSD v.4.6 (NOT) Released

A FreeBSD fan writes "FreeBSD 4.6 was just released. It's a relief to see it arrive after a myriad of delays and excuses caused it to be held back. As always, with every new version, FreeBSD becomes even faster and more secure than before. Please be sure to find a mirror here before downloading." Update: There's been an update to the story, please note that "something fishy is going on" Murray Stokely writes "We have gone over this for the past 2 releases now. I thought I had made it clear that you were not to publish information about FreeBSD being released until you saw a signed PGP message from one of the release engineers. Are you trying to help the spread of trojanned copies of FreeBSD? The release is not ready yet, and will not be until the front page of FreeBSD.org is updated and a PGP signed announcement message is posted to announce@FreeBSD.org." So I think we're all clear on how murray feels about this.

Oh, gimmie a break - this is a tips and rumors site. His whole attitude of "Discussion of The Release is doubleplusungood and Shall Not be done until the Powers That Be bless such an activity" vaguely sickens me. Sure it's bad news reporting, and someone with the initials CD should be slapped with a wet noodle. But this site is made up of contributions. Since when have you ever seen a pile of volunteered contributions without a fishy or off one in the stack? Even over and over. Yeesh, you'd think people would know by know from the duplicate articles that the editors are a rather loose group.
