right.  we're not finishing killing whatever bugs we see, and wrapping
things up, to kick them out the door.

it'll be 1.1, i hope.  8-)
I think at least a few of the new features have already been outlined.

AS for "in terms of ports": you just can't really have goals about
ports, because porting is, while very important to the NetBSD project,
mostly done by "individuals."  I.e. they do it when they can, and get
it done when they get it done, and you don't make any assumptions
about when those things may occur.  8-)

One of the goals of the next release will be more "support" for 64-bit
architectures, i.e. the kernel will get a little bit cleaner here and
there so they won't be such a pain in the butt.

unclear; it's crashing occasionally, but the majority of the time it's
down, something else is happening entirely, and we have _no_ clue
what.  The big problem is that i'm not in Berkeley any more to watch
it, and there's typically nobody around at all, let alone somebody
who could investigate what's wrong with it.

The big problem is, it's in an office where there are people once
ever 24-36 hours, and they're only there for a few hours, at most.

We're in the process of getting things set up so that these problems
will change in the near future.  (change to what?  hopefully something
less severe.  8-)
