Well, NeXT gave many different excuses, and 'lame' is far too
scintillating a word to describe them.  However, the unofficial excuse
was something like 'either we image the CD and get 3.0 out the door
ASAP, or we put the sources on'.  NeXT opted for ASAP (which is good)
and is cooperating to make sure the sources will be available for all
soon after 3.0 is released.

Just be patient...
