Wow!

its what many Lindens been saying since the release of Viewer 2, there has been so much howling & misinformation it kinda got drowned out

There were a lot of mixed messages from Lindens on this until now. First time I heard this clearly was from Merov Linden last thursday.

amazing. Who will do the vetting of the "official" viewer?

The only branch in this diagram that non-lindens can write to is Snowglobe. So the vetting will be as before.

Now that I read it again, "viewer-public" is actually not world-visible. But it is automatically cloned to viewer-external, which *is*.
