The feature list, like ALL feature lists, started out in life as a wish list, then was trimmed to become the specification. The status we see here has elements of the original wish list in it still.

The confusion arises from the mixed tenses - what started out as "should" became "will", then "is" or "has". Only if someone continuously updates the status will it read properly from day to day. We can't be sure which parts of the list have been done and which haven't - the list is probably obsolete now, already.

Don't panic, all development proceeds this way. Pity the poor technical writer who is given a folder full of data like this and has to massage it into a lucid and accurate story.

OT: My wife and I are off on a driving holiday, leaving on Saturday. If nothing goes wrong we should be away for 6-8 weeks. I will expect you guys and gals to keep the pressure up so that the AmigaOne is all finished and ready for me to order on my return  :-D

Have a good one
