 Oh and did I mention delays?

How much code did you contribute?

How much money did you send in?

How much hardware did you give them to test?

How many detailed bug reports did you file?

Thought so...

It seems that XFree86 releases are decades apart. I
remembered it once said on the site that XFree86 4.3.0
was to be released in May 2002.
Much later on it was announced it would be presented
in January 2003.
If it's going like this I am looking forward to my
great great grandchildren using XFree86 5.0. We'll all
be dead by the time XFree reaches the 5th version.

Maybe our great grandchildren will be able to get releases out more
quickly.  I hope I live to see the day :-)
