Majority of the developers does not mean the majority of the work. "Only O & S" (and now T) is not so only, a qualified majority of the code in Fred is ours. Experimental has probably had 5-6000 lines of code added to it the last month, where as the trunk has probably only had a couple of hundred. > I guess it depends on how "experimental" the 0.5 version is going to > be.

Experimental will still not run. I was hoping it would before my trip to America, but then I haven't set up a milestone yet that I haven't missed (I still have 8 hours!). > So, I'd probably say that we should cross that bridge when we come to > it.
