Given that it's public knowledge that a release is out from Apple, and
that Apple, which has some discipline with such terms, calls it an "alpha"
release, I don't think I'm violating any NDAs by saying:

Apple's Dylan is out in the hands of real users.  And it is a long way
from perfect, or even very usable.

This much is public knowledge.  I offer no comment on whether it is on the
way to being STUNNINGLY WONDERFUL.
