I would have to aggree with this, I constantly remind the Cauldron Team that 
deadlines the number one (#1) goal. Do not take on anything new that will 
prevent a deadline from being met. Focus on deadlines and don't waste time on 
 
'new features'.

illusions that it will happen pre-1.0.

Time will tell, we will post 0.9 in Jan and 1.0 in Feb, no matter what.
