You quote me but you might be confused about my position. I said that
using 4.0 vs 3.5 is basically marketing, but that does NOT mean I was
arguing against 4.0.
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to Ottawa. If I had my
"druthers", it would be 4.0, and possibly we'd slip the schedule to help
make sure that we get the quality up enough to make a real splash.
