I agree with this. Keep the grimoires and sorcery moving independent of
each other. I understand this was a problem in the push to 1.0 as new
sorcery features required spell modifications, but this is mostly taken
care of.

As far as release dates for sorcery, I agree with Dufflebank that we
should still have release dates, but maybe they shouldn't be so rigid.
Choose a target date, and adjust as the date draws closer.
