Hmm, a tin-plated dictator with delusions of grandeur? But no, Captain
that's not why I hit him. He called XEmacs 21.6 a garbage scow! And
that's when I hit him.
As for Halloween, IMO that's unrealistic. If we're going to
do a
"with all the warts" release, let's shoot for (US) Labor Day for a
"gamma" announcement, just to remind us of how much work is left to
do.
I'm going to be out of the country with my family that week.
If we're going to try to fix some of the problems, I misdoubt
we'll still be deciding what to fix and what to document as a feature
around Halloween. (Although I guess 21.6.0 can be "Edward
Scissorhands" because it's more sorrow than horror, and then .1 can be
"Halloween" XEmacs, followed by "Freddy", "Jason", and
"Texas
Chainsaw" as the realization of what we've let loose on society starts
to sink in!)
No, just call it "Vista".
