IMHO the problem about "trying later" is, that the later we will
switch to mini-STL+tinyMICO and so on the harder the transition
will be.
Sure, no real problem, but at the moment we are still quite used
to fast moving targets and compilation problems (Hi Qt-2.0 :)

Therefore it would be great to let the gurus develop a nifty
roadmap (or some basic timing at least). No "deadlines" of 
course and no "this is the plan so we *must* achieve this nasty
goal in the next weak"-plan, just some *very* basic thoughts
(e.g. which ORB, STL or mini-STL, DOM,...you know what I mean :)
Then browse through these topics and sort them that the order
makes sense. After that some basic timing (e.g. OK, DOM till
November or December, and if not - who cares :)

Werner, still shocked about Reggie´s debugging session: 20:00 till
07:00 %-|
