While I agree that I'd rather know that he's working on something than
be left completely in the dark, I also feel that what's going on was
enlightened by his last message on the subject, weeks before 4.0.1 was
released.
In that message, he stated:
1) He knew 4.0.1 was going to be release in June
2) Work on 4.0 would -not- happen
and (importantly)
3) Getting potato was his highest priority, and that nothing was likely
to happen with 4.x until potato was out the door.
Until Branden said so, I had no idea that there was a planned 4.0.1
release. As such, I assume that he is much more familiar with the
inner workings of X development than I am, and am therefore -certain-
that he know that 4.0.1 has been released, and that XFree86 is now
using CVS for development.
Based on that, I don't think anything's going to happen wrt 4.0.1 until
Potato ships, and I think Branden is fully aware of what's going on.
