I find your lack of faith...disturbing. Arrrghhh, sorry, Park Wars
is being played at the background :-)
More seriously, I find your decision completely understandable.
If Inline is to free the world from XS, it better be rock solid
and do everything XS does.
Strictly speaking, there is no need to put Inline into the 5.7 tree,
though, since whatever goes in there probably should stay there all
the way till 5.8.0 (putting it in and taking it out before the 5.8.0
is kind of wasted work from my perspective, and I live by Larry's
Virtue #1...) You can still work with the VMS folks, for example,
to make Inline more portable, there's no need for the Inline to be
in the core for that.
