It is the nature of open-source projects that many are announced long
before they are functional. Often the motivation is recruitment. It is
appropriate that someone developing a collection of useful software --
which is the goal here -- filter out those that aren't ready for prime
time. I believe that all of the distros do this. Even the source trees for
Linux and FreeBSD go through a similar process on their way to a RELEASE
version.
