@morfic. Thanks for that. I guess my conspiracy theory was a little premature. I will say that there has been a major change overall with the way cm does things since ics has gone full bore. They have become far more conservative since the gb days. Just makes it look as though they are trying to move towards a more proprietary model as they possibly try to legitimize cm as more of a mainstream rom, ie touchwiz, sense. They have made mention in the past of such intentions and with the move away from putting out as many experimental/nightly builds sends a message, again I'm speculating, that they are trying to show someone that even their nightly builds are put together better than most builds that are preloaded by manufacturers on flagship phones. Where are the old cm nightlies? The ones where they added a cool new feature for your phone and it wouldnt even boot or would work for ten minutes just so you could see how cool it was then locked your phone up only to never boot again without a nand? That kind of spirit is gone replaced by a overly protective sense of "watch what you release, we dont want to ruffle to many feathers." With the amount of users they have now and devices they develop for they are in prime position to go mainstream. Seems as though now all their releases are just a little to "nice". I miss that old balls to the wall approach. CM is now the "bleeding edge" with training wheels. Thank goodness for these kangs or we wouldnt see alot of these features for weeks or maybe even months. By the time they actually drop something now its so far behind its like, meh. People used to get excited to come home from work or school to check out the latest nightly, or maybe that was just me. Now its all about the Kangs as CM seemingly preps for the masses. Alright, Im done, sorry.

Just to give you a timeline, I watched both Rush and Zeppelin in 1977.
