Who would make and vouch for these promises? The Windows port, for
example, was announced two releases ago, and similar gross
misestimations are on record for other features. Overall, we'd just
have made as big a fool of ourselves as MySQL is doing.
I think what you are really looking for is a regular summary of the

that, but I don't know what become of it.
