Description

In December 2022, Colin Percival assumed the role of Acting Release Engineering Lead for the FreeBSD Project. He managed FreeBSD release engineering for four months, until Glen Barber returned to the role after FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE.

This is the story of four months of release engineering and a FreeBSD release managed by someone who neither wanted nor expected the job.
