One of the goals of Adam's Spring comp was to *spread out*
the existing comp games across the year a bit more, not to
increase the number of games released per year. (This is
not entirely true--I'm sure he'd be happy with increasing
the number of good games released per year, but this has
been one of the standard reasons that people have wanted
and suggested a Spring Comp: because there are too many
games in the Fall Comp.
