Just to clarify a couple of points: 1) Evolution comes from Ximian, which was acquired by Novell, long after Novell had been selling Group"wise" on NetWare. 2) There were some complaints about Novell/Ximian's lack of response to bugs in the 1.4 series, but, in their defense, I think most of their efforts at that point were working on the 2.0 beta, so, yes, 1.4 was, perhaps, not receiving enough love for a while....
