We already have X.6.8. With the addition of a quality font menu 
manager that was universal across Cocoa and Carbon apps, it would be 
the final standard! (But Apple has never supplied a font menu manager 
in nearly 30 years of Mac. Amazing, isn't it?)

The joke is that people over on the DPReview Mac Forum are talking 
about this rubbish as an "upgrade". Even the name is recycled. 
Couldn't they work that one out?
