It doesn't matter how you want to spin it, there are effectively 2 development branches each with their own functionality that were born before 2.5 was ever planned. The change of direction because ED were unable to deliver NTTR on time or with the stated content then meant the third development stream was born (2.5) that combines the functionality of the other two.

I also see that in another post (and that's twice now) you have confused the words 'stable' with 'complete'......yet they are not even related, and especially so in EDs case.
