Noted and understood. Let me rephrase: the point is that the only people in control of releasing the codes are the developers. (Current) non-developers may want it released earlier, but the only "power" they have to that end is persuasion. >> doesn't help, and, in fact, usually hinders the process.

I don't understand the specific circumstances, nor will I as I am merely a lurker on this list. My original thrust is still the same: I hope Scott, and any devs not-inclined to release *right now*, read the producingoss text. I can only hope they take it heart.
