The fact is that improvements are very likely.  Just read
http://download.win-test.com/nightly/release.txt to see all improvements
they've made to Win-Test within the last few months.

Obviously some enhancements are more difficult to implement that others.
Some take a lot of time, some take a lot of design thought and prototyping,
and others take a lot of testing on a lot of different radios.  Some don't
take much time at all, but could risk destabilizing the code, and that's the
last thing we need.

I do think if the developers F5MZN and F6FVY no longer have enough time to
work on the code, they should invite some new developers to join the team,
or make it open source.  I also think we as users could help them prioritize
our needs through some sort of online poll listing all the outstanding
feature requests.
