Wow. No angst in that post. :)
Personally, I appreciate the "we'll release when it's ready and no
sooner" position. Mozilla is trying to meet a lot of requirements, and
that's a hard thing to do and still get something out the door. I
predict that once something usable comes out (and I think it has),
you'll see a lot of rapid development a la "grow, don't build" (thanks

My experience doesn't match yours, so I'll call it "an invitation to
discuss" rather than bitching... I wonder if Moz developers cruise this
newsgroup? Is there a better place for this discussion?
