Hi David
I think the PPS is at 1.4 RC2. They want 1.5 for the demo. There seems
to be a need to guarantee stability leading up to the demo which can not
be given for the PPS! I agree that the PPS is the natural place to do
this but probably because of the importance of the review people want to
minimise the risks of it going wrong. You can reach your own
conclusions....
