It's good to hear that it's coming, but disappointing to learn that what we
had thought was coming in early June with more features lost features and
slipped back half a year.

I don't want to speculate about why this might have happened or invite you
and your colleagues to share the thinking with us (which I recognize would
be an invitation not likely to be accepted).  But I didn't want to let the
news pass unmarked.  I was looking forward to the new features and hoping to
have them in use before next year, which now seems unlikely.
