Well we are in no position to go with the time line I originally  
proposed (and on which nobody commented anyway *shrug*). At least if  
we want to make the RGBToColor changes before the release. I am not  
sure how good/bad the speed issues with the theme GUI code are, maybe  
we can postpone these backend changes... but if we make them,  
considering they are a relatively big change, we need sufficient  
testing.


If we say the GUI speed is good enough, then we can still aim for a  
0.9.0 release around 2006-05-15. As it is, I have no idea how many  
ports even *work*. I guess we'll just have to announce a release  
date, then a week or a few days before that, our porters will  
suddenly appear, fix up most things etc., and then we can announce  
that it's all a big hoax, and add another two weeks of proper testing  
*g*.
