De-lurking for a moment, I recall the original intention was to include at least one aircraft from each common category (single, light twin, heavy twin, bizjet, etc). The new criteria seems to be features / polish / completion - I'm not arguing which criteria makes more sense for a 0.9.9 or 1.0 release, but that's why the c310 is in, as I understand it - in the absence of a Baron or Diamond TwinStar, it's the only light twin that really exists with a model and cockpit. It's had very little love, and the default skin has been the military variant, which a few people have objected too in the past. If the argument about 'covering the categories' still holds, then replacing the c310 with b1900d is moot - for sure the b1900 should go in, because it's polished and slick, but it's a totally different class of aircraft (replacing the DC-3 with the b1900d would be more equivalent, but there are other reasons the DC3 is nice) Anyway, I guess all I'm really saying is, it sounds as if the criteria for inclusion have shifted changed, and that's fine, but it might put the existing aircraft selection from 0.9.8 in a new perspective.
