Thanks for the effort Justin; I did appreciate the transparency the road map updates provided. I think the biggest value was you asking developers if there were ready yet; and being able to reschedule issues to a later release (rather than have us wait around not knowing).
The number one question I get about geosever is when is 2.0 coming out (which in Australia seems to be a code word for application schema support); the second is always about feature scheduling.
