Ah.  Thanks.  Too much e-mail, and that means I am not following as
closely as I should, I suspect.  The impression I was getting was that
"final release" meant "already in some semi-simple way, ready for the
XO 1.0, and possibly SoaS".  That, and I've been "burning the midnight
oil at both ends". (How's that for mixed metaphor?)
