This is a very important point, and one that I try hard to keep in mind.

I should stress again that, while I have some nascent ideas here, I  
have NO plans to make any dramatic changes in the near future.   
There's lots of other, more important work to do first.

If nothing else, take some comfort in the economic forces at play  
here.   The fact is that I can't afford to spend time on fluff  
features or ill-conceived "improvements".  So there's considerable  
pressure to work only on stuff I'm convinced will be a real  
improvement.  Especially when it comes to major changes, I'm going to  
approach them with caution and careful analysis.  And, as always,  
your collective input.

I trust you'll tell me if I start going nuts.  ;)

Christopher
