Why did Ed Yourdon remove the critical date listing/countdown from his webpage?

Because I thought it had served its purpose: by now, almost everyone who has the slightest interest in the subject is well aware of how many days we have left. Don't worry: it's not a conspiracy. I haven't been abducted by aliens. I just got bored with the same layout day after day, and have decided to gradually start adding some new things...

Does anyone have information on the number of critical dates that have passed and results....

Let's call a spade a spade. The critical dates were removed because nothing material has happened on those dates. Ed Yourdon was wrong.

Leaving those dates up is a stain upon his credibility.

The solution: Make them disappear.
