   We're not on schedule and we are not ready for Alpha. I am still fixing
severe stability bugs, and Bruce's changes are part of the list of problems.
This means that if we are going to do what we have said we are going to do,
which is to release only when we believe the system to be very stable, then
we have at least another month before we can consider Alpha.
