Hoi,
It would be suitable when Domas says that we can support is. The current
software may be stable, but keeping us from improved language support.
Improved language support is what we need. Improved language support is
essential for improving usability for the majority of our languages.
Supporting languages is as technical as providing stability. How to weigh
this is not obvious either way.
Thanks,
GerardM
