NetBSD 4.0 release cycle

Dear NetBSD user,

We would like to inform you that the NetBSD project plans to branch for the
NetBSD 4.0 release soon. Before this happens, a few critical bugs have to
be fixed. The exact list has been posted to the current-users mailing list:

   http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2006/04/11/0012.html

If you are not familiar with the NetBSD release cycle and version numbering
scheme, you can find an explanation here:

   http://www.netbsd.org/Releases/release-map.html

The branch is expected to need about six month after branching before it is
ready for the actual 4.0 release.
