Frankly, I'm impressed that everything else is going in. A gutsy
decision was made a while back to simply drop 'annotate' from the
needed-for-1.0 list to make sure everything else got done, and it seems
to have actually worked. I would have anticipated way more schedule
slippage -- look at the enormous number of major bugs *still* in Mozilla
1.0 for an example of substantial schedule slippage. :-P
