Now that I've turned section Ramblings back on, I can hear what you guys are saying. Reading over the other messages that weren't addressed directly to me, (which explained why I only read some of them with 'rm', and saw none of them with 'rtn',) I saw that some people were saying that regular users should get betas of new OS software. I don't think that's a good idea – obviously, a beta isn't open to changes. Theoretically. 🙂 But I had agreed when someone pointed out that it wasn't apparent that CBM bothered listening to anyone but developers when it came to deciding what goes into the next rev of the software. For example, I don't recall either developer or user clamor for a version of uEmacs to be added, but one day, there it was.
