Foundation controversy.

[Wiley Hodges]

I'd like to say in defense of Wil and the decision to go on  
foundation:

1. Using Foundation enabled Wil to do the nearly impossible:  
write a very good PDF viewer in something like less than six  
weeks. That's simply unheard of, and though much of it is due to  
a heroic effort on Wil's part,  I doubt he could have done it  
as quickly and gotten as good a result without using Foundation.

2. Most developers are going to have to do this in the coming  
months. We're likely to see OpenStep implementations shipping as  
early as April, and there will be no software for it without  
people beginning to base their apps on the OpenStep  
FoundationKit objects now.

3. This in fact means that NEXTSTEP 3.3 is a featureful  
upgrade. I would add that if you're using Intel hardware, you'd  
be foolish not to upgrade to 3.3, but in general there are  
enough things fixed and added even as low as the OS layer (e.g.  
support for IP multicast, finally) to make it worthwhile.

Thus concludes my $0.02.
