I think so. I wouldn't repeat "means that" twice in two consecutive sentences,
though :-). It's clear that we've shifted focus, maybe add that we're committed
to producing something good, so we are not committed to a fixed number of beta 
releases?

I think you're right with that.

For Krita, on-canvas preview of filters should work, which is pretty cool
(and filters should work again, too, but that's not so cool, they should have
worked for ages!) I haven't had time to check Lukas' recent work on the 
sumi-e tool, and I haven't had time to finish the paintop preset thing, but
that should be pretty cool in the next release.

I'm afraid I cannot produce Krita pics on any os right now, lack of time
and lack of a working KOffice development environment is crippling me
atm.
