It's a bit presumptuous to make public claims that it's "9-12 months away," though. I can appreciate the conventional wisdom of staying away from N.0 releases, but we are putting quite a bit of effort into this one. 6.1 is not going to be 9-12 months away either, nor will 6.2. The 6.x line is generating quite a bit of excitement and will be a very good set of releases. Scott
