Ah! I didn't know that. I can see how that would complicate things. You can't turn a supertanker on a dime, I guess. > I'll get started on a future releases plan page.

If you document how many prereleases you plan and how long your cycles are, I can do the multiplication. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
