For me: time. This couldn't have happened at a worse time. I've been away
from the office for a week now, working on-site with clients who keep
asking for demos of 2.1. Unfortunately, I can't show them anything. I
can't even get an old copy from CVS since that has been broken too. So I
can only say "let's talk more about the stable release".

In the evenings, I'm busy researching answers to their copious questions,
and certainly don't have the time to put in the amount of work required to
bring the samples back to life. When I'm back in the office I'll be happy
to pitch in.

Don't get me wrong: I *love* the new build system. I love that jetty "just
runs". I love the fact that CVS is lightning fast. But my customers don't
love that I can't show them flow control, or any of the other neat things
in 2.1 that I can't tell them about. It's embarrassing :-(


Andrew, cut to ribbons on the bleeding edge.
