That is why the canonical client should be feature-identical to the 
existing xastir.  This way, non-technical users will be comforted by the 
software behaving the same as it did before and technical users can help 
develop other clients.

Heh.  I haven't been active enough in the xastir community for a while 
due to still being juggled from the move, but I have been working on 
other projects centered around databases with the hope of leveraging 
that experience and assisting Curt and others with the next generation 
of xastir.
