At one point in time, the 'interim' release was given a verbal blessing from
Bill.  I know that has changed, but this sounds like we decided to go
off half-cocked here.

Bull Puckey!  Many of the interim group are in semi-consistant contact
with you, and saying anything different is and out and out lie.

Almost all of the work that is currently in the hands of the interim
members is, and will be handed off to the Jolitz.  (Some of the less
stable stuff is in testing, and non-integrated stuff is still being
worked on)
