I'd rather releng worked on getting the release out, than fielding
   impractical requests. I'd really hate to see this release delayed
   another two or three months for minutae. IMO, it was a real tragedy
   the way 1.4.3 was delayed many months and wasn't finally released
   until after 1.5 was.


i don't think i actually suggested holding up the release; if it
was taken that way, my wording was poor.
