And here is the central point:

We should _always_ look at everything we can to see if there are good ideas
to be had. We're all smart people but we can't think of everything: so if
ANTs has some cool gizmo we forgot, we can look at it, steal it, give them
credit, and be the better for it.

However, as andi's _commits_ to cvs will show you: we're all in the business
of building a functional production system as soon as we possibly can.
