I dont believe if people are being honest in this blog that it will cause backlash, i think deep down we are all feeling the same way. while we all appreciate that D7 needs to be stable,we just dont know why it seems to be taking so long.
The trouble is dolphin is good in its potential,you mention ablespace, well ive been messing with OSD, its rubbish at the side of dolphin but it will do for a small project im working on for parents with disabled kids. There's just something about dolphin though see more that makes you wait, and hope that it will be sorted soon. People will only wait so long though before they syart to get a bit twitchy....
