Specific example 1: Hubworld.
Should I bother? Is it just going to be made irrelevant by the possible release of Gameworld? Is there going to be a Gameworld to make Hubworld irrelevant? Can I help out with Gameworld so it can be both?
Specific (and historical!) example 2: NW
What's the secret project Kyle and Lycia and Antago and Vangel are working on? Will it seriously result in the outright deletion-and-replacement of Classic as Antago says, or will it just be so awesome nobody will want to play Classic anymore? How much longer does Classic have to live? If Classic's only going to exist for another couple of weeks, can I make this script portable so it will at least see the light of day on NW? Why are the developers barred from answering any of these questions? Why are they so set on refusing to use anything developed on Classic at all?
Hypothetical General Example 3: Script Function Lambda
I'm trying to get Graal to mirror images. Can it be done? No? Will there be a function to do that someday? Probably not? Okay, well what if I make a gani, name it math.gani, feed it an image as param1, then teach the gani to slice the image into (width#) 1-pixel wide strips, then have a for-loop reassemble it backwards?
Oh, after all that work Stefan came out with gani.rotate()? Zut alors, if I'd known that I could have worked on something else for the last month.

That's what I mean. Not telling you how to do your job, just commenting that since none of us have access to chat with you about new releases on Kingdoms Debug and nobody there's willing/allowed to discuss what's about to be released, we live in constant fear of the next dramatic revelation destroying/making irrelevant/making unnecessary our work.
