There is a lot of common code between the Orion and Orion II. It seems
quite reasonable that a beta test of the Orion could show a problem that was
a problem in the OII also.

Sorry, but this makes no sense to me.....? After the considerable wait,
why
not release the upgrade for the O II if it's really completed? Or, is it
to
buy them another 3-4 months of beta testing?
Does anyone have the rationale for their position?
