The alternative, of course, is to revert to the last working version. If and when, ESR finishes this redesign, it can be checked back in. If we need to revert because of problems in the code, then we will. But I think that isn't necessary -- there are not so many bugs. I don't want to revert the code merely because of the lack of ChangeLog data. It would be better for someone simply to write that.
