Hi Ged,

I told you on IRC, and you seemed to ignore what I was telling you...so 
I'll say it publically.
Just because I finish the CODE on December 1st doesn't mean it's ready 
to be used. I've said it numerous times (and even posted on my blog) 
that it will probably only be usable in HEAD after around December 14th. 
And after that I still have kernel-mode fixes planned for afd.sys, which 
go well beyond into January. If you branch 0.2.9 now, it won't be a 
networking release (again), and will offer little to the users.

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
