That's life. We're all doing this part-time: even PythonLabs has to
do customer work to keep Zope Corp pushing forward. I realize that
it's helpful for some developers to have a hard deadline, and as we
get closer to folfilling our goals we should set ourselves some, but
I'd rather slip a schedule than release shoddy work.
