I agree. Postponing the current release doesn't really do anything but<br>
frustrate the people that depend on recent changes. Setting a goal for<br>
the next release accomplishes the same goals without the added<br>
frustration.<br>

I do strongly support the new prioritization...but *after* we release 2.057.<br>
The thing's already in the middle of the doorway, there's no point in not<br>
getting it the rest of the way out the door..<br>

This is a done deal now. I would like to thank Kenji and Walter for so quickly and resolutely acting on my suggestions.<div class="im"><br>

There are good ways of addressing that. We can delay the release by only a<br>
few days and fix long-standing and extremely important issues. This is not<br>
only about doing the expected/reasonable thing here, but breaking a<br>
pattern and making a statement.<br>

If, as you suggest, there's some big things that can be fixed in a short<br>
amount of time, then we can just finish 2.057, and have a short and sweet<br>
dev cycle for 2.058. The only thing "breaking a pattern and making a<br>
statement" does for anyone is make it look like we've been possessed by<br>
Steve Jobs's ghost.<br>

More rigor and perfectionism ethic wouldn't hurt us one bit. Bugs, underdefined and underimplemented features, and an attitude "if it has a workaround it's less of a bug" are our main liabilities right now.</blockquote>
