AARRGGHH X11/NeWS AARRGGHH

[Mark Smith]

I can't stand it. Back in the summer, we saw the X11/NeWS Beta release
running at Sun here in the UK. It looked to be ready Real-Soon-Now. At the
time, we understood that FCS was expected sometime in September. Here it
is, the end of November, and we keep hearing how it's delayed here, it's
on hold in the U.S., etc. etc. Meanwhile, messages show up on the net
which suggest some people actually have it in their hands. Does anyone
know what's really happening? I'll take semi-substantiated rumours at this
point.
