June 17th is declared as being the feature freeze day. Thus, as long as
they don't commit a pile of crap to the repository, why should people
refrain from adding new features during the regular development cycle ?

Some people _do_ see a real advantage.

Indeed. I suspect that clever users of this feature are going to
hardwire the TerraSync scenery directory via some command line alias,
preferences file, ~/.fgfsrc or whatever, like they do for other custom
preferences.  It's up to you to do the same.

"This" is not consistent with Gene's, Csaba's and Ron's view. If you
read carefully, then you'll realize that these three guys have
primarily expressed their opinion on wether to have the GUI inside the
visual system or not.
