You and me both!
I would certainly like to see some path whereby development might occur
incrementally.
And I am currently going through some of the outstanding issues/ /bugs,
in the hope that I might be able to offer something along the lines of;
By completing work for issue #xxxx - we enable "this" which would be
useful / a requirement for obliterate.
It is some pretty "dry" reading - especially to someone with no SVN
development know-how or history, though I am progressing...
