The next couple of lines relating to 6.x would be enough if they had a date even as loosely approximate as '2007-3Q' or 'November 2007' or some such instead of plain 'TBA' would be helpful. If if becomes apparent that November is going to slip, plug in 'January 2008' or whatever. The caveat above is clear and could even be stated more strongly if that made people taking a stab at a date feel more comfortable. ////jerry > > Josh
