I disagree. 16 is not the funnest thing to develop on, and HEAD, as a
proposal, is just a tiny step away when compared to the full rewrite the
proposal branch is. 

HEAD proposes to move to xslt based templates and its just missing a
couple of features to be a fully css oriented with sane javascript
features. I think of it as a release that sensibly slims 16's UI layer
without having to reprogram everything.

I think we can do HEAD in the short term (6-8) months, but i dont think,
no matter how good the experimental-working folk is, we can have as much
features in 1.0 in that same time. I would give the new framework a
year.

Now, if everybody decides to dump head in favor of experimental, then
maybe this timeframe can be reduced. The problem i see is the upgrade
path. Even if the framework and porting or rebuilding of apps is
finished soon, providing tools to port to the new framework will be hard
and much more work. I dont think it would be all that wise to wait so
much for the next release.
