Re: [abc] Re: [abc-users] Schedule for annotations etc.

I'm sorry, but I do disagree; your proposal runs the risk of
scaring away potential users.

As I've suggested before, I would be happier with changing
the last sentence of my proposal to something like
"We do not have a definite schedule yet, but we are hoping
to complete support for AspectJ 5 by the end of summer."

Do what you feel is best, however: I'm really going offline
now, not thinking about aspectj for at least a few days :-)
