I agree - And the typical "It will be released when it's released" is
not only disingenuous, but also shows infantile behavior that one might
deem unacceptable in a well-manor ed, and obviously intelligent list as
this.
From many of the replies I have gotten, many offered at least
alternative means of moving away from the version that's been set on us
for more then a year now.
To you folks - I thank you. Still, all in all - there ought not be any
secretiveness to this. If there are issues, be forthright - let us know.
Hey guys, we're extending the release date due to x, y, and z. It's not
hard keeping the user base in some shade, if not in the light directly.
