You wrote earlier Bruce that you are doing all the work. Join
the club. I felt that way for *years*. And I really do want to
get back to doing updates and contributing, time is just really
tough right now.

But back to what you posted. This is one of the reasons that I
sort of stopped updating. Before I could even make the rounds
of all the packages that I use and do the updates, they were
obsolete. Can you say spinning wheels?

I am fully in favor of the "ongoing release" terminology. And
for all practical purposes, this is what we have had for years
now. I have some time, and can help update packages, but I saw
that it is a never ending cycle of incompleteness, which I
looked at as unproductive.

Sorry for not contributing in the recent conversations, I have
been listening, just not talking. Bruce, you do realize that
more than anyone I know where you are coming from and what is
ahead of you.

Regards,
Randy
