Ouch.  So is freebsd.cdrom.com:pub/FreeBSD basically going to be an
empty directory (other than ports/packages) after June 31?

Will FreeBSD-current distribution have to be stopped as well?  Sounds
almost like nothing can be distributed until 2.0.

And is the deadline June 31st or July 31st?  I've heard both mentioned...

Clarification, anyone?

Thanks,

Jon
