Hmmm. *All* the major developers are like that. I wouldn't read too much 
into it. Perhaps now, since they have new management that requires 
ultra-stable releases (Nokia needs stable software for use in its 
phones), I would cut them some slack... hopefully.

		THE BLOSSOM
 
		 Merry, merry sparrow!
		 Under leaves so green
		 A happy blossom 
		 Sees you, swift as arrow,
		 Seek your cradle narrow,
		 Near my bosom.
		 Pretty, pretty robin!
		 Under leaves so green
		 A happy blossom
		 Hears you sobbing, sobbing,
		 Pretty, pretty robin,
		 Near my bosom.
