It does give me a warm fuzzy feeling to see the version number go up

I if I discovered the progress being made was misrperesented, I might
lose trust in the people working on the project. Trust is important,
and if we can gain the trust of end users, that's something we'll have
that microsoft never really earned. :)
Maybe you should start reading ros-svn. We are approching 2000
commits since 0.2.6. While I won't claim that all of those commits
were "progress", there is progress being made. Don't even think that
we are trying to misrepresent the "progress" of the project, almost
every day we are in there hacking on stuff.
I don't see how trust comes into this situation. The fact this is an
open source project gives me all the trust I need. What are you, a
debian user? ;0)
