<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">When you release a version, you have to fix the feature set.  The fact that they have worked on 1.2 so long is a testament to the fact that bug fixes are very satisfying.</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">Second, 1.4 will have no new features, but just needs more testing to eliminate bugs... this means more bug fixes.  Bug fixes are what this is all about as new users go to 1.4 and the developers who like to bug fix would like to get to the bugs in this new version.</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">Sure, 1.6 is being discussed, but should the architects stop innovating/evolving asterisk?</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">All I ask is for people to be fair...</SPAN></div>

<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> A common attitude in the development community.</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> Keep adding more bells and whistles, it's more fun and interesting.</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> Don't bother to fix the many existing problems. That is boring</SPAN></div>
