Please re-read

I'd have expected a release announcement saying that it was not ready,
because (as QA report exhibited) there were major problems, but that,
still, people who would like to help could test-drive it.

It was all like : "it's much better than 2007.2", which it wasn't for
serious reasons.

Hence my disappointment (which turned into anger, with the bugtracker
usage misunderstandings).

Again, this was a big frustration for all those who believed in what
was announced in the release message.

But I think I have made enough rant.


Be sure that this won't stop me from trying to be as constructive as I
can in other technical areas.

Lookin' forward for next batch of updates, and let's see if QA work is
more seriously taken into consideration before releasing, then.

Best regards,
