The INIT is not stable enough for release. With something as
all-pervasive as the Memory Manager, you have to make double-damn sure
that there are no crasher bugs. People in-house who have been trying it
out report that they have a higher number of random crashes and hangs
in normal everyday work. Until those are ironed out, the INIT would be
decidedly unpopular.
