A buzzword like 'Enterprise Ready' suggests we've done something in 2.4
to become more enterprise ready than we previously were. And we're just
not.

Besides... seriously, given a choice between

http://www.ximian.com/about_us/press_center/press_releases/?pr=xd2_announce

and

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2001-March/msg00018.html

I'd lean towards the second one. These are community release
announcements, and yes, they should be organized and impressive, but
yes, they should also reference pants, or octopi. 

Perhaps we could get the Queen to write them?
