We’ve said a it few times over the last year. Ok, we’ve said it many times during the last year: It’s almost there. Just a little more time and we are done. We just need to…

The character Garak from Star Trek has a striking remark, when he is told the story about the boy who cried wolf:

Bashir: If you lie all the time, no one is going to believe you, even when you’re telling the truth.
Garak: Are you sure that’s the point, Doctor?
Bashir: Of course. What else would it be?
Garak: That you should never tell the same lie twice.

In order to be more trustworthy, here’s a new lie: Our product is in beta, but it is still not feature complete.

Truth be told, it will never be feature complete! Even when Headlight is released, it will never become completely done; in order to fulfil the demands of our customers and to be agile, we will keep adding new features and removing old ones.

For obvious reasons we do make roadmaps. But if a new opportunity comes along, my personal belief is that we should go with that instead of the planned roadmap. I think that is being smart: Not sticking with plans and schemes made months or years ago, but adapting to reality as we know it. And that’s not even a lie!
