The problem is - they aren't working. Ron has done an exceptional job, but he is the only developer actually working at adding functional code to v3 on a regular basis. It is very frustrating that we have so many talented developers in the same community, and yet one guy is trying to build the rocket ship and everybody else just wants to wash and wax the exterior. I urge everybody to try v3 on real hardware (note that SimNow counts as real hardware for this excercise). If you think that what you see is of high enough enough quality to sell to your favorite OEM, then fine - we're done, and start cleaning up. But instead, I wager that you will find issues that you want fixed.
If everybody took a break from cleanup and fixed one problem a week, then in three months all that would be left are the cleanups.
I'll do my part - I will commit to a v3 patch a week (and a real change too, not just running indent).
