no. The discussions are mainly pie in the sky stuff with a high risk factor and a long incubation time. Even if we could shrink the development of such a container to a year (which I doubt) and we are successful (which is by no means guarenteed) we have still left our users in the lurch for a long time and gone back to the eternal alpha that Avalon was always in. We worked a long time to finally get something released stable and I do not think we should abandon our users for a pipe dream. If the new uber container actually occurs and solves the problems it proposes to solve then we could perhaps start moving towards it then. Until such a time I think we should be mindful of our users - some of whom have risked a lot to trust our development. -- Cheers, Peter Donald ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | I thought there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence. | | There's a knob called "brightness", but it doesn't work. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
