It's a drag, but I would rather wait for a stable release
than go through the SGI Irix 4.0.3-Irix 4.0.4-Irix 4.0.5
contortions that we've been through since the "release"
of Irix 4.0.

Given the choice, I would have had NeXT make separate
(later) releases of the new packages (dbkit, 3D stuff,
etc) and just work on getting the stable base release out
on time.
