It is also the model we used until OLS this year - there was a 2.6 release about once a month prior to OLS. Post OLS, it's now once every three months or there abouts, which, IMO is far too long. I really liked the way pre-OLS 2.6 was working... it means I don't have to twiddle my fingers getting completely bored waiting for the next 2.6 release to happen.
