   Excuse me?  The last `release' of FreeBSD doesn't `support' the Ultra
   either.  NetBSD-current and FreeBSD-current (as well as FreeBSD-1.1
   `gamma') do.

Hair splitting.  We consider `gamma' to be a release, since we roll
binaries and go through all the gyrations necessary to make it
installable from scratch (unlike -current for either OS).  In fact,
GAMMA is the Release Candidate and initial signs are that we won't
have to do much at all to it between now and `1.1 release' time.
