Several NeXT employees distinctly stated that several features were being pushed back to the 3.1 release at NeXTworld Expo. Cross compilation and fat binaries for example. And NeXT traditionally releases new software to support new hardware (ostensibly the reason for 2.1 as well as the only reason for 2.2 and 1.0a)... does this mean that the NRW is completely supported by 3.0? Or that it won't be out until 4.0 (a minimum of 18 months away unless they change plans radically). On the other hand, I don't expect 3.1 to be necessary for bug fixes given the extensive testing. 3.0 won't be bug-free, neither is 2.1, but it should be MUCH better than your traditional x.0 release from what I've seen.
