I have to say I thought reacting to the idea of D2->D3 with "there must not be a D3, it would be a disaster" is just wrong. Clearly there can be a D3 if that proves to be a good thing. Then possibly a D4. It is all about evolution, marketing and expectation management. Saying there will never be a D3 is as off-putting as having a D3 too soon. For lessons in what to do and what not to do I offer Java. The 1.2 -> 1.4.2 sequence was handled reasonably well. Up to 5 and thence to 7 were handled very badly. The revised JCP EC have forced a much better process and I see 8 onwards being handled at least reasonably well. Of course there are still people using 1.3 which is outrageous. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
