* Argh. The finished CDs are already packed up and waiting to go out * Federal Express.. :-( :< * If the testers find something really bogus that requires remastering, * I'll update the ports collection again. Otherwise, I think we can * consider this a 2.1.1 timeframe issue. We're waaaaay behind schedule * on this one and it's going to be a rush getting them into people's * Chrismas stockings as it is! :-( I'm going to try and plead on my * knees with the CD replication house to give us something better than * the 3.5 week turnaround times we've been getting from them, but Jack * says "Ha. Good Luck!" so I think we can safely assume that we're * looking at stock coming back no sooner than December 15th or so, and * that's cutting it *really close*. Nothing short of a small * catastrophe will induce me to remaster at this point!

If this means the "window" disappeared due to scheduling constraints, I would have appreciated it if you told me so that I didn't have to stay up all night fixing this. :< Satoshi (too tired to think anymore)
