easier said than done when everybody wants every fancy new feature 110% solid and yesterday.
Not everybody. What I want more than the fancy new feature is: honest schedules and honest self-appraisals. A vendor who promises me what they think I want to hear or maybe even what I really do wish I could hear is not as valuable to me as a vendor who tells me the bold bald truth no matter how much it hurts my proposed rollout schedule or how much it might help one of their competitors who can deliver $FANCY_NEW_FEATURE earlier. -- Paul Vixie <vixie@eng.paix.net> President, PAIX.Net Inc.
