But overall you're right--progress has speeded up and we are getting pretty close. I told the CC mode developers that we would wait a few weeks, if necessary, so that the new version of CC mode can be installed. After things are "ready", we should begin formal pretest. During that time, we just fix bugs that people report. When the reported bugs are fixed, we make a new pretest. When a pretest works well enough, we make a release.
