This is mostly a philosophical difference between us. I'm generally +1 on releasing anything and everything for public consumption as long as it's properly labelled (which these alpha builds are). When you start doing too much internal QA and reduce the number of eyeballs looking at stuff, you lose several key benefits of the open-source development process IMHO. I'm not pushing hard for the release, especially since I haven't been heavily involved with the compatibility stuff. My original message was intended to be in the "by the way, here's something to think about..." tone. -- Yoav Shapira System Design and Management Fellow MIT Sloan School of Management Cambridge, MA, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] / www.yoavshapira.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
