Ahh, that is so right. And also -
SO WHY DO YOU WAKE UP NOW, INSTEAD OF WAKING UP A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO
WHEN WE FIRST SAID WHAT WASN'T GOING TO BE READY, AND START REVIEWING
LIKE THERE'S NO TOMMORROW???

Ok, got that out of my system, phew. Sorry ;-)

BTW, I'm glad to see more people doing the BFAV thing, and advancing the
process, but this doesn't clash with making a release in any way
whatsoever. People can go on coding and reviewing and advancing Squeak
right through beta and gamma - harvesters will simply have a slightly
bigger pile when we enter 3.7 alpha.
