    Listen folks,

    We've planned to release at or around this date for
    quite some time. We've negotiated a joint release
    schedule with Gnumeric, GnomeDB, and others. I've
    sorted out a potentially large legal mess. I'm not
    throwing all that away for warning email messages sent
    out after I've done tagging - especially since this
    date was so well-known for quite some time by everyone
    involved... You can't claim igorance.

    The release isn't being delayed. Let me repeat - this
    release isn't being delayed again.

    We'll do a 2.0.1 in a few weeks if we must. This isn't
    out of any disrespect I have for the win32 platform or
    our win32 user base, because I harbor none toward it.
    This isn't the only win32 bug. In my opinion, this
    isn't even the biggest win32 bug we have.

    If there are bugs, fix them. We'll have more releases
    in the future.

    Dom
