Thank you, Kevin. We read you loud and clear and it is good to know 
where we are standing. I truly hope that the technical issues get 
resolved since it would make a nice finish. Personally, though, I 
don't care whether the last OS9 build is 2.9 or 2.7.5 or 2.8.2. By 
this I mean that if there are real problems to make a proper 2.9 
version, you could still consider releasing a build which is not 
quite on par with 2.9 but packs as many relevant bug fixes as 
possible and becomes the dead-end branch of OS9. The only thing I beg 
for is that you retain a capability to build a further fix version 
should any critical bugs (yes, critical not just any bugs) surface in 
that release within reasonable time. It should be possible for RR to 
keep one computer with the latest OS9 codebase and its compilation 
environment.
