Instead, think of it as a "getting most of the bugs out and having a 
working base point" release. Well worth having from time to time 
Especially if later problems cause things suddenly turn to quicksand, 
you can check if the problem cause was in code before or after this 
point, and that shortens rework cycles to get up and running again.

Anyway, keep up the good work, I DO like toybox.

ps I wonder if android could make use of it?
