I have some serious objections to the way this discussion is going. It
does seem that catchy logo's and major version numbers are considered more
important than quality of code. IMHO nothing beats quality and as long as
lazarus has loads of serious bugs there's no use to take the next hurdle
already.
Want to speed things up? Then start sending patches. If you can find a
sponsor, even better. But the baseline is there's a lot of stuff that
needs to be fixed.
What good is promoting a non finished piece of software in such a high
profile way? It will only dissapoint expectencies and turn down potential
users.
