I think the v1.0 release has seen a step-change in the use of FG.
There are a large number of new (often quite young) users who are generally
inhabit the forums rather than the lists. They are tending to use MP all the
time, as it is part of their expectations of the system (I'm guessing because
they have a background in games like World of Warcraft).
Given this, making all the aircraft easily and cheaply available of MP seems a
no-brainer to me. IMO the argument is really about how large these aircraft
should be, and whether they should be part of the release base-package or not.

Yes, I think OSG is going to be fit for release, and quite soon.
In fact, setting a target for an OSG release sometime this summer might be a
good way to encourage the bugs and rough edges to be smoothed out.
