A comment that I've seen about OSA is that it's run by successful  
people... so they all spend their time managing the high level  
details instead of getting on with the grunt work. Too many managers,  
not enough chefs, leading to what appears to be happening here - days  
and days of messages about whether it's "alpha", "beta" or "dogfood".

Just call it "Piddly Wonk" or something completely and utterly  
meaningless, and shove it out of the door. Success or failure isn't  
going to be measured by what it's called but by what it does and how  
well it achieves the objectives (if identified) that it sets out to  
address. Engineers and techies are going to be your first round  
audience, and we don't care about the label.

Steve.
