4.3.17?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does the GME team plan to begin using a release
process that allows external users to be involved in settling down new
releases?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This "GME on such and such a date" thing is totally
stupid: it tells nobody (other than perhaps the developers) anything
useful. It is just more evidence of the GME Now vs. GME Then
"philosophy" that I've ranted about in the past. I strongly
advocate that the GME team adopt a legitimate release strategy.</FONT></DIV>
