I honestly don't think MakeMusic is big enough to run their development projects in that manner. It basically means running multiple codebases at the same time, and forking them before you've finished implementing the features in a previous version.

Well, I didn't think of it in terms of multiple codebases, so much as the development process being more involved,. and taking longer than most on the list seem to think. I suspect the 2006 codebase was substantially closed sometime late last summer or last autumn, and that some people began working at that point on the 2007 codebase. My hunch is that someone at Makemusic! already knows the 2007 update feature list with 85 percent confidence.

I further suspect that if someone submitted a brand new idea that did not yet appear in any form on MakeMusic!'s "to do" list, and they felt it was so compelling that it had to be included, that it might well be Fin 2k8 or even 2k9 before it made it to light.
