Finally, one of the core Lazarus developer that agree with what I said!!

The 1.0 release is being pushed back more and more by new features (in
my studies it was called "creeping requirements" and is the bane of all
software projects). There never seems to be a feature freeze. And you
agree too that Lazarus is far beyond the initial 1.0 release
specification, so why then isn't Lazarus at v1.0 yet?

I'm simply trying to help the Lazarus project, by preventing more and
more bad press. Even if that means playing the "marketing game". Bad
comments, bad press, FUD, etc.... they all scare developers away. I'm
trying to do a good thing here, but it seems like all the core Lazarus
developers have a mental block against anything I say. I simply don't
get it! Why have a project that you don't want anybody else to use???
