I'm just confused at this point...  we did write a lot of code last year to
change to a tab based UI, it just didn't get finished and merged.  POV
actually did a fair amount of work on it after the sprint.  Beyond that, I
don't think anyone had any serious objections.  The only thing that was
controversial at all was the "temporary tabs" which might have been an
unnecessarily complexity.

I am also concerned about a Gutsy or Gutsy+1 release for CanDo with a

is still very weak.
