Not a madman, but someone who doesn't have a good view into how we 
actually are spending our time on, where we spend what amount of time, 
and how much work the replacement of the whole platform SeaMonkey is 
built upon really requires. I fully understand that things might look 
the way you are talking from the outside. That said, the final SeaMonkey 
2.0 is planned for the second quarter of 2009, and we are working as 
much on it as we can. Remember that the whole SeaMonkey development team 
consists of volunteers though, who work on this project exclusively in 
their free time.

Clearly, as seen from the mostly outside observer, knowledgeable in most but 
not all respects...
 
Another reason that SM 1.x should have been abandoned long ago, albeit learned 
from, and SM 2.x completely focused upon.
 
In my past resplies and musings, I know that I brought up the same idea, but 
it's so clear that SM 1.4 came into being far too late, and that SM 2.x 
represents a massive shift to something far improved.

SM 1.x is a dead horse...it died a LONG time ago. It is befitted with a great 
number of problems built upon an old and outmoded Gecko engine that itself has 
been long since improved upon.
 
All the man/woman power expended on SM 1.4 seems of little use, as SM 1.4 was 
too old when it was "released", and there is an apparent split of time, 
people-power and other resources that should have been long ago appled to SM 2.
 
With this division of valuable resources, by the time SM 2 reaches late Beta, 
the rest of the world will be in 2010...if past and current stages and events 
are any measure.
 
Is the above the ravings of a madman or one who is not in the know?  Sorry, no, 
not at all.
