    I agree, the schemes are out there a bit.



    I don't believe Apple would not test things as wide as possible. I haven't been testing in the latest Appleseeds but I can't imagine they would waste theirs or our time putting out junk seeds.



    Also the way Apple OS dev. use to work (haven't talked to anyone at Apple about this in a while) is that each department works pretty much independently with their Apps and then basically bolts them on the the main OS when ready.



    This is done I assume so that things work as independently as possible so that other Apps tend not to interfere/brake one another, a component that falls behind in development doesn't slow the whole process down and things remain pretty secretive between the groups.



    If things are still like this then something like the Finder if being updated will be bolted on at some point while the technologies it may depend on like core data, core animation, etc, is pounded on by testing through other means.

    But we are left with the conflict between 'finishing Leopard' and 'amazing Top secret features'. Even with the June 15th release, that's only a little over 3 months away, and if these 'Top secret feature' are part of the kernel or frameworks then its almost too late. Just trying to guess how this all might go together



    I can't see a major Finder update, even thought that's an application on top of the system, because the open/save dialog boxes use the same views and they interact with everything.
