I'm not sure about that.  EVAS is pretty well complete, except for this
question of Etox/Estyle.

Ecore's re-write is the big thing right now.  At some point EWL will need
to be moved Ecore's new API, but shouldn't be too much work.  Etox and
Estyle both use Ecore but only for the test app, so not much there.  EWL
is the only big thing.
Ebits is doomed, of course.  Which means yet another big change for EWL on
the lib side.  On the app side, this means that Etcher, E and possibly
Ebony are all scrap.  I'm curious how much of the current apps will be
salvagable.
That's the path I've seen us on for some time now anyway.  I think once
Ecore is complete and we hopefully can turn a 1.0 on EVAS and Ecore (which
admitadly could be held untill E is near completion and nothing needs to
be added to either, but i doubt that) we'll be able to pick up the pace a
bit more.  Between a stable Ecore and Evas you can get alot of work done
without involving Ebits.  I really only feel sad for poor EWL and Eprog. 
Eprog because the new API to Ecore makes Eprog much less needed (although
I think that Ecore wouldn't be as simple as it is without Eprog, which I
still love to use) and EWL because its so high on the dependancy chain
that any changes downstream have a huge effect on EWL.
That's whats in my E playbook, but we'll see if raster burns my copy soon. :)
