You will find that the "free software community" is quite prepared to
be very definite about schedules and plans if you pay appropriately. If
you are in the business of making a living off using software, and you
need it on specific schedules, you have to be willing to pay (or do the
work yourself). You can't have it both ways!
I couldn't care less; like most threads, some people wandered off a bit.
The important questions is: Is tree-ssa going to attain "official"
status, and if so, what is its likely release? 2004? 2005? After
Longhorn? ;)
No one is going to give you a definite commitment on this if you are
just looking for zero cost software I suspect.
