Point point releases?

Is it just me or are point point releases of FBSD pretty rare? Almost seems like 5.2 was a bit of a rush job.

You're right. The only other one was 4.6.2-RELEASE.

Can't have been the "only" other one, since it implies a 4.6.1-RELEASE before that :) And there was a 3.5.1-RELEASE too.

Completely offtopic question: Do you have any idea how many people actually use your service? Are there any plans to make it an "official" offering of the FreeBSD project?

Thanks for offering it, by the way. It is both technically interesting and good to have (even if I personally don't use it).
