Out of curiosity, why does there still seem to be no inclination to 
release? I just had a good friend of mine doubt whether SLIME was 
stable enough to use on the basis of it only being available via CVS. 
Most open source projects would have a tarball up by now; not having 
one is the exception and will lead people to think that we're in a 
state such that it's not usable yet.

I know fetching from CVS is easy, but that's not the point here. The 
fact that there has been no release yet send the wrong message, I 
think.
