Well said.. don't change now.. develop what is there and make it right
for 2011. You all liked it for 2010, 9 weeks is no time at all.

Having said that though, you should not be doing testing in production,
you should have a test environment for that! Using any revision control
system could simply allow a checkout of a release version into prod.
Adding a CMS on top complicates that, although a database dump from test
to prod and a checkout should generally cover it.
