You > SHOULD'NT! Jean-Eric, thanks a lot for your feedback :-) Point is that I informed the LVM community about our plans to release 1.0 on June, 20th a while ago. My "release status" e-mails are just aiming to keep everybody up to date in regard to necessary changes. > By definition Open-Source/free software don't have deadlines!

For eg. commercial firms which need to get products for Linux out of the door to ensure revenue can't probably share yours because they can't afford to wait very long :-( > > So, continue your good work until LVM 1.0 is READY, not until people are > happy that you release it.
