From what I’ve seen so far, this sort of thing is done for two reasons:

First, when it is a company pushing for a release, and the programmers have no choice. Sometimes, the company pushing is a partner company (a big-time audio company like Steinberg, or Cakewalk, for example only). Luckily, Frits is not in this situation at this time.

Second, when the small group or even individual if there is only one person working on the project, has a release schedule which they stick by that is regular, for instance the good old weekly updates Jorgen used to do for energyXT. This also includes the darker side of this, where the person is rushing themselves for a release, desperate to appease themselves (from boredom or something else?) or the masses waiting and hungering for a program. Frits does not do it quite this way either, I don’t think.

Since Frits doesn’t seem to fit in either of these boats (which is another reason why I chose to come over here from energyXT and since I can still use both anyway! :D) I think there would be no problem fixing such things for him. No one is pushing him to release that is paying him serious money, and I don’t think he would feel particularly rushed on his own schedule either.. maybe.

Well, this is how I see it. So my feeling is it will get fixed! Of course… *ahem* I happen to have not been around here very long so… Some of you long-time inhabitants would have better idea than me. 😳
