I meant that it was time for the project to move on and it attracted a much wider audience through the forum increasing project throughput many fold. Also, George started using it to discuss bugs on the forums. Sure one could have used bugzilla but he didn't. > Perhaps one final comment - seeing as this list is alive and well, I > submit it would be incredibly arrogant if the project were to stop > posting important announcements here.

But as has been pointed out in past discussions on this list, the v4 to v5 changeover was unplanned and occurred a few days into George's month long vacation to Australia. The transition was far from ideal and all concerned have acknowledged that. Can we stop beating that dead horse now?
