Another 2 cents:
<YMMV> The more I think about this discussion the more I conclude that 
one of the main reasons I like UCW is that people here are focused on 
(combined) fun, work and fun of work rather than on 'issues', 
'releases' and all that stuff. Probably most of us is earning money by 
working on software thus probably we have enough of this. Focusing on 
real work (instead of premature assumptions and fears) is smart. And 
very 'lispy', because in Lisp we can do our work really in a way we 
like. That's smart. I like smart people and I'm willing (partly because 
of my laziness) to use products of smart people because they are better 
than average products. So probably that's the reason why I'm really 
fond of this and several other CL projects with all their backward 
ruthless incompatibilities :) </YMMV>

Gosh, looks like I'm writing more essays than code lately..
