Well, thank you for your concern Edgar, however in the future would
you please at least look at all the work that went into the release of
this. There were months of testing by the releng team in association
with the arch teams to ensure that as much was ready to go. I'd like
to also point out a few people who went above the call on x86 to get
things filed. Ryan Hill (dirtyepic) filed many many many bugs as
blockers for 4.1.1 going stable at my request. The Archtesters for all
teams as well worked very hard testing things to make sure they worked
as w ell. Before it went stable, almost all were stabilized if they
could be. There are a few packages not ported yet in the games
category but we weren't going to let that stop the progress either.

Quite frankly saying that we didn't do enough testing, is a insult to
everyone who worked on this release. No release is going to be perfect
for us as a project, what we have attempted and I believe been
successful with is making the transition as painless as possible.
