Gunnar,

I think it is pretty obvious it is not the message we want to send out.   Maybe you or some other German speaking person could leave a comment that clarifies the statement.

Unfortunately, what we as the project developers think the version
number means won't help if the wider consumer community and media have
different expectations. It's clearly important that we get the message
out about what this release means, who its audience is, and what
developers and end users should expect from it.
    

Speaking of expectations. A press article is out:
http://it-republik.de/jaxenter/news/Komponenten-fuer-Eclipse-4.0-stehen-fest-055164.html

It's written in German. They way I read it, expectations are set that
this is *the* Eclipse 4.0 SDK, a logical successor to 3.6, everybody may
start to download and use once it is out. Is that the message we intend
to deliver?
