Thanks Jesse for the link.  I will be studying that.

(Also thank you to Mark and Dave for the other links.)

Hey does anyone know of any big projects that follow the OpenBSD-style 
release process?

I am writing releng procedures for a new project and they will be 
publically available (well they are now already available but the website 
has not been announced yet). I hope to include summaries describing other 
projects and even techniques, processes, and releng related tools that we 
aren't even using for comparisons.
