The whole process is completely confusing to me. They want the "official" release to be 100% bug-free. That will be almost impossible anyway, but when you take into account the fact that a lot of the bugs aren't being fixed from one version to the next, it seems ridiculous.

I'm not sure this system of reporting bugs and issues in the forums is the right way to go either. I think it may just be a way of tucking issues into a hidden closet...so that light isn't shed on them. There are see more a lot of "Real" issues in the forum that are not being given the attention they deserve.

It just seems like deadlines were not met and now there is a rush to get the release out. You've got one group of people who want it released like yesterday...Another group of people who want all of the bugs fixed no matter what time it gets released....And yet another group of people (including me) who are just completely confused as to how this Road-map really works at all.
