I don't see why that's so important. Sure, NLS binaries are bloated
until then (or no NLS support).

The choices are:
1. making a 2.04 soon without that (date X) and a 2.05 with that when
it's ready (date Y)

2. making a 2.04 with that when it's ready (date Z)

Why wouldn't Y == Z?

Anyway, Y will be rather close to Z.

What did we loose? Not much because we're using CVS anyway. But we
deprived the users the new features for Y-Z days. (Which will be
rather many days if past track record is anything to go by.)

Also consider this: you manage to get the new DXE ready. Just in time
for your departure, of course (that's the way it goes). You go
away. Problems arise with the new DXE? What will we do without you?
Is there a regular contributor here that does have a solid grip on the
new DXE besides you? We'll probably wait for your return. See the
problem?

(This is naturally not a personal attack or any complaints about any
DXE code. I'm just predicting a little.)

By the way, where in Europe will you visit? Near Luleå?


Right,
