So I know why you against the Second Sight. Because in YOUR priority, the
GNO is MORE important. I am sad to see that Jawaid is not able to support
both GNO and Second Sight development at the same time, but I don't think
killing Second Sight just to get GNO 2.1 out is a good idea. Second Sight
is either as important as, or more important than the new release of GNO IMHO.

Maybe what Jawaid should do is to spare more times on the GNO. Jawaid, are
you listening? GNO is an important product, please finish GNO 2.1.
