Andrew, your vision is that hard to accept by most of users that I would ask you to consider make some dedicated thread in forum to it and discuss this with all of us more deep. Really most of people are not happy at all from this news. You stated before that you dont gonna work on d8 at least until end of 2011 - now its seems u chaged your mind but your customers want d 7.1 to be finoished as supposed and all reported bugs and half working features fixed..
