Hi Dave,
I'm very interested in your comments about the 5.0 readme file. We will put it in .html format; that's the easy part. What I'm really interested in is what kind of information you thought was worthless, and more importantly, what kind of information you were looking for.
For the 4.3 release, the Read Me First was much longer (some 40 pages) and covered a lot more material. We received several comments that it was too long, and that the Read Me First should be very short and only point to where other information resides.
We're in the process of re-designing the entire documentation set and are very interested in customers' expectations about what information goes where. If you have any feedback on this wider issue, please let me know.
Thank you for your interest in helping us improve the documentation.
If I can be of any further assisntance, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Well, I heard it is out. I went to the now.netapp.com site. I see the announcement, I go to the software library. ONTAP 3.1.6 is the latest recommended release? What happened to 4.3.1?
I think something is broken. Either that, or NetApp is celebrating April 1st a little early.
I noticed in the 5.0 announcement that they say the Exabyte Mammoth is only supported on the F630. Why would such a limitation be made?
And while I'm here, I might mention that the PDF file format is quite possibly the second most annoying thing found on the internet, surpassed only by spam. I blew off far too much time trying to get a reader for the 5.0 readme file, only to find 1.25 pages of almost-completely-useless text.
