Before anyone gets the wrong idea, let me clarify this.  1.0 fixes all
known significant bugs.  We have a database of all known bugs (either
discovered by us or by people in the field) and have determined which bugs
are not important to fix for 1.0.  (If we just tried to keep the UNIX
utilities bug free we would never ship a release :-).

With respect to IP, we are shipping the latest networking code released by
Berkeley.  We are willing to consider any later enhancements that have
been talked about for a couple of years now, but they have never been
released (at least so far as I can determine).
