It is a statement that it is impossible for me or anyone else
to predict when new releases of OpenAFS will be available.   Version 1.4
still has yet to be released.   I bet that 1.4 would be released much
sooner if we dropped support for operating systems with unstable kernel
ABIs.

Even assuming that I had working code ready to go (and I don't) at the
current rate of the release cycle it would take months/years to get the
code tested.   We still don't have a Tiger release and that work is 95%
or more done.

The reality is that there is an overwhelming lack of resources for
testing and development and those that are available are not
predictable.  Therefore, I make no predictions.
