Re: NetBeans: No longer working backwards?

While I realized it was Jarda who added the press releases in the
Wiki, I didn't know that it was "just Jarda" instead of "Jarda on
behalf of the NetBeans Team" which is why I asked the question here
instead of e-mailing him directly.  He did explain earlier in the
thread why he stopped publishing them, then noted that this reminded
him to write one for what he is working on for 7.1.

Now that 7.0 is released and work on 7.1 is starting, I want to ask if
others on the NetBeans team also believe in the "Working Backwards"
approach.  Is someone going from the NetBeans team going to write a
press release in the style Jarda describes in his book.  If not, why
not?
