Why would the 240/4 updates blow the schedule?

More code, more regression testing, same number of programmers.  Do the math.

Less code, every patch produced to date /removes/ code.

More regression testing, same number of programmes, ok.

Take it as a given that it *will* slip the schedule some amount, because
the resources for a 240/4 feature will have to come from somewhere.  So
how much slippage are you willing to accept?

Ok, I'll accept a month slippage in IPv6 "features".  (What are we still
waiting on, anyway?)

I also believe that's also about 29 more days than most vendors
should need to do the job.
