Quinn, No offense taken. At first, I shared your opinion, but unfortunately given the utter silence from the Versions team, and lack of responses to any methods of communication other than this group, they really left me with no other options. I've waited patiently since the beta for any sort of hint that they'll be adding merge, yet week after week someone asks for merge to be a feature, with no feedback from the team. I don't feel that I'm more important than anyone else, but I'd rather let them know they're about to lose a customer now, rather than they just don't see me upgrade to 2.0 because I'm already gone. It's nice that you happen to know that 1.1 and 2.0 are being worked on, but all I can do IS imagine, because of the lack of communication from the Versions team. From what I've read on the group, they barely respond to sales requests, and almost never to support requests, until you come to this group and raise a ruckus. I'm not saying that the the feature needs to be done tomorrow, or even a timeline on when it might be done, I'm just asking that the team acknowledge a year's worth of complaints of users who need the functionality, and give us some hope that they're actually planning on doing something about it.

Glad I haven't offended. I totally understand your sentiment, and agree that some degree transparency is generally beneficial. Something between stony silence and disclosing competitive secrets, of course. ;-) If a "yes, we're working on it" (and maybe a hint of timeframe?) is sufficient, I'm all in favor.
If I didn't already have a dream job, I might be tempted to pursue working with Pico/Sofa on Versions, but that's not on the horizon right now. Maybe someday...
