i never said "kill it now"; quite the opposite really. in fact, it looks like you really arent taking your own saying to heart. my point is to look to the future and stop wasting resources. if v1 incorporates all the features of v2, then v2 has no purpose at all except to split development and waste peoples time. the approach set out originally was to keep v1 usable while we look at getting v2 up to feature parity of v1. but apparently v2 has no interest at all with the larger community to actually make that happen. that doesnt sound like the open source spirit, that sounds like "i'll play with my toys over here and everyone else can do what they like". -mike
