I understand that table prefixes might be critical for some people, and
I'd like to have these custom prefixes in DBMail in the future.
One of the problems it that we'd have to change all queries which are
made in dbmail, which means changing all statements were queries are
made. This is quite a lot of work, for which I don't have any time at
the moment.
Also, getting 2.0 out the door would have (almost) no impact on the
addition of new features. I would like to move to a release model were
we can release more often, with smaller changes between releases. This
way, it should be much easier to do upgrades and bugfixes. I guess,
overall, it could mean that development can speed up, because changes
can be smaller.
If anybody disagrees with this: please yell and tell me why :)
Cheers,
Ilja
