Seriously. I had the same thought. It would be interesting
to sit in on these meetings where work priorities are
established. From the outside, it is difficult to
decipher what criteria are used to make these decisions.
Certainly not customer clamoring, it would appear, unless
I am *completely* out of touch with what is happening in the
IDL world.
Cheers,
David
