I, for one, interpreted that message (at the time and considering the
context of other discussions that were taking place on the list) as a
"We aren't considering any serious changes to the plan, details to
follow at Zero's office hour, but it's too late now. It's done.", with
an implication of holding XML-RPC logins over as a transitional, but
killing that as soon as possible. I don't know how anyone else read it.
