I could take that more seriously from someone who doesn't use
"Jovian" as if it were a nationality.

I find the idea of gathering IALers together and letting them
bicker about their idées fixes at point-blank rather amusing.
It could be IB's substitute for wrestling.  Make sure there are
plenty of folding chairs and water glasses available.

In other words, there will be as many versions as there are
Windows 95 updates, and version mismatches all over the place.

as the first vote ends up with a tight draw, the 47% minority will
