Why now?
The code is in a shape where teh compiled out version of hte system is stable. In the compiled in version, it is functional
enough to provide nearly all of what people want. It needs people with other interests to adapt it to their purposes and use it so that it can become a solid product for future releases.

The website has a snapshot with a date over a month old and many
comments about unstable interfaces. I've seen zero reports of
substantial testing...

What about locking and SMP scalability? Any new choke points?

not that I've seen.

That's a less than resounding endorsement :)
