    Such things are no longer complicated when brought to light,
are they?  The many questions can be condensed into few questions,
virtually.  Should "free" software developers write code in harmony,
withholding "new features" long enough for a release every now and
then so that many others will use it?  Or should eternal patience
reign since they aren't getting paid money for it, and gee, *NIX-
like systems are so "intriguing" when they remain too difficult
for the common consumer to use, anyway (sarcasm on my part)?  
I feel sympathy for those who have tried to maintain the shared
libraries if anyone in particular is responsible for them.
