Noted and understood.  Let me rephrase: the point is that the only
people in control of releasing the codes are the developers.  (Current)
non-developers may want it released earlier, but the only "power" they
have to that end is persuasion.

Noted.  I don't understand the specific circumstances, nor will I as I
am merely a lurker on this list.  My original thrust is still the same:
I hope Scott, and any devs not-inclined to release *right now*, read the
producingoss text.  I can only hope they take it heart.
