This is why I made such an idiot out of myself a week or two ago when I
jumped the gun on downloading and compiling the natbib CVS branch, though.
I am looking forward to the day natbib is fully supported - and so are a
number of other astronomers I talked to at the American Astronomical
Society conference which happened in Pasadena, CA, this week - when natbib
is done, we can publish papers in the US journals with virtually no hand
edits after an Export->LaTeX. So the interest and enthusiasm are there.
Now that I'm done with the conference, I might actually have time to try
out the branch to see how it's going (I know it isn't finished yet).
So don't fear - the enthusiasm is there, and Angus knows it (at least, I
try to make sure he doesn't forget!). Not many of us have the time to
tinker with CVS versions of LyX, but I will try ...
