 Hello everyone.
 
-PyPy development is fast, sometimes very fast. We try to do 3-4 releases a year
-and yet a lot of time when someone complains about the last release being slow
-we usually say "oh, but it's the release, that was AGES ago". That makes
-something as big as summarizing a year next to impossible, but using my
-external IQ amplifiers like internet and hg log, I will try to provide you
-with some semi-serious statistics:
+PyPy's development is fast, sometimes very fast. We try to do 3-4 releases a
