Thanks for setting me straight on this matter.
I believe a few relengs ago, it was about a year from the initial branch to release of the new version.
But it is not always such a long time.
It is only fair to give NetBSD 8 users breathing time as opposed to jilting them suddenly.
I resent my previous message accidentally just minutes ago by reissuing the old command. Sorry for the noise!
I believe it would be very disadvantageous for me to go back to NetBSD 8 or 9.
