- It's a drag, but I would rather wait for a stable release
- than go through the SGI Irix 4.0.3-Irix 4.0.4-Irix 4.0.5
- contortions that we've been through since the "release"
- of Irix 4.0.
-
- Given the choice, I would have had NeXT make separate
- (later) releases of the new packages (dbkit, 3D stuff,
- etc) and just work on getting the stable base release out
- on time.
