+NOTE:	Please do not edit any files in this directory
+	until this NOTE is removed.
+	In the next week, I want to clear out all the 
+	platform and release #ifdefs from the code.
+
+NOTE:	The matching user level code has not been released
+	yet.  It will be available soon.  The existing released
+	Coda code is not quite ready for current.  We'll
+	have some patches out soon.
+
+BUG:	There is a bug in file mapping/executing.  When a file is
+	first created in Coda, it can not be executed.  But after
+	you restart Coda (unmount/mount -- actually vutil -shutdown),
+	you can run the file just fine.  I haven't had time to look
+	for this problem yet.
+
+
+WARNING:A version of this code has run on stable for a while now.
+	The code has been recently ported to current.  It is mostly
+	working, but hasn't been run long enough to be sure all the
+	bugs are sorted out.  Let me know if there are any problems.
+	In particular, killing venus (or rebooting) when/if venus
+	is hung, may not work correctly.
+
+	This code is not SMP ready.  Most locks are on vnodes
+	and cnodes and go thru the lock manager.  There are a
+	few hashes and queues that need to be locked -- I think that's
+	all that is needed.
