I think that because we have so far to go to change perceptions, and 
because we've come a long way recently and can assert that progress, a 
constant program of reviews would be helpful.

Personally, I would rather have a series of incremental reviews to 
demonstrate steady progress than wait for significant jumps in our 
technology because in the process of getting these reviews -- which can 
take some time anyway -- we are also building new relationships with 
press/analysts/bloggers. This is ultimately a judgment call that the 
marketing/PR team has to make because they generally know the people 
doing the reviews better than most of us.
