Amen.
And I will add, Tom, that I wasn't actually speaking for CollabNet
when I posted. I just meant that, purely from the point of view of a
free software project that needs to keep its development community, we
shouldn't stop-and-review the whole thing now. People tend to drift
off when a project spends too much time in design phases. We need our
warm bodies to stay right here and keep supplying the heat...
I like my CollabNet salary too, don't get me wrong :-). But there are
also very good reasons to stay focused on 1.0 that have nothing to do
with CollabNet.
