First let's look at one issue: WHY are deadlines CREATED in the first place. 1. To keep in sync with other tasks, requiring this task to be completed before they are started, 2. To complete a task before a time-out of some kind, 3. To keep a promise and uphold reputation, 4. ...? maybe something else..? Here, however, I don't believe ANY of that could have had place: 1. TB! is a product in itself, which doesn't interact with other projects 2. No (known to me) time-outs can pertain to releasing a program version. Changing licenses can be influenced by changing tax regulations, for example, that I'd understand. What do releases depend on?? 3. No promise of v3 has been made to the public. More, the public is rather outraged with the decision, and RIT reputation suffers. So..? Why in the world was this deadline introduced? "Because the boss said so"? How am I to say it's not downright dumb :/ -- |\ /| \~~~/ \~~~/ | \/ | /\ > < \~/ > < ICQ# 3146019 |____| /__\ /___\ /_\ /___\ IQ# 3.14159 Famous last words: "Umm... Can I UN-cast that Fireball?
