Ah, thanks. I missed the discussion when stage 2 fell out of use, it would be nice if someone who was there at the time added a note to develop.html - is it an ad-hoc thing that we've just done for a couple of releases because it made sense at the time or was there an SC decision to permanently modify the development plan? cheers, DaveK
