    Also, FreeBSD's new scheduler gets on the main page, every semi-serious release of Debian-, Slackware-, Mandrake-, and Foo-Linux get on the main page, premature announcements of *any*thing get on the main page, but a long awaited release of the most portable operating system in the world does not get on the main page.

    I wonder if 1.6, when it is announced, will be considered worthy.
