No, have not been a student for many years now.
What you call obsession, is a very good way to organise anything that needs to be completed in a timely and cost effective manner.

About the same way you would do a budget to know what you have coming in and what you have going out, therefore knowing what you can and cannot afford.

Even if they did this wouldn't make a difference to the people suffering from "spoiled brat syndrome" as they would still demand further explanations and justifications, and come up with the usual conspiracy theories. Been there, done that.

I see your point to a certain degree, especially concerning the "spoiled brat syndrome" but not with the current status part. For all we know they had to ditch the code or just decided to drop the project, oh sorry, "patch".

I read them all before posting anything

From what I could understand of what was posted this was a tricky thing to do and large parts of the 4.10 content had to be started from scratch...(?)

Have you ever tried to learn from scratch a complicated piece of software and then proceeded to create something the size and scope of what 4.10 is supposed to be with that software, and all in your spare time, i.e. when you are not working to pay the bills, feed the kids, walk the dog, fix the roof, etc, etc, etc? I very much doubt most of you would say yes - I certainly have never done anything like that, but I'm not surprised that it's taken a while for these guys to complete the work!!

Actually yes, I have and still do whenever the need arises. But I do not do it in the middle or near the end of the project I am working on unless it is a have to situation.

I also work a full time job and do outside projects for family, friends and the like all the time. This is my free time and I manage it very well.

Wasn't asking for a long heart to heart conversation, was just looking for an update of something along the lines, "hey everyone, we still working on it".
MicroWave has done that and it is greatly appreciated.

Thank you Microwave!
Now we can return to our conspiracy stories to keep you laughing during your bug hunt!

Microwave ? Didn't know anyone with this name at DT ... could be that the mastermind of the conspiracy pops out to ridiculize the conspiracy theories?

Kidding of course ... keep up the good work .. and your private lives above all my friends ...

Good to know there are only minor bugs,nothing so serious.(I suppose)

Actually what has happened is that Oleg was so jealous over DT's success that he hired a hit squad of ex KGB agents to whack them all. They are now holed up in a safe-house in Istanbul trying to squash bugs on their laptops. They can only get messages out rarely, that's why we don't hear from them much.

It was Agent 47,actually.
