On Behalf Of Jonathan McKeown > What on earth is going on with release scheduling? Please keep in mind that the work is being done almost entirely by volunteers donating their "spare time". I don't know about you, but for me, spare time is what is left over after all of my other commitments are taken care of. i.e. family, income, home, etc. The amount of spare time I have fluctuates significantly, sometimes entirely disappearing for days, and is completely unpredictable. Now, some day we may be more fortunate, like Linux where Linus and several others are each being paid by some company or consortium just to maintain various portions of the system. But until that day comes, we have to allow the maintainers some slack in this and other issues. Patience is a virtue, Bob McConnell
