To be fair, that was for folks on the isp-geeks mailing list, who were effectively doing alpha test with me.  I was 
fixing about 1 significant bug per day and doing at least one release per day.  10 day old code was missing at least 10 
fixes...  ;-)   And that was BGP3.   BGP4 was the next developer.
