In all fairness, let's give the guys a break. Adding v.90 required a
major rearchitecture and no amount of lab testing can simulate the complex
configurations that exist in the real world. I can completely understand
the frustration that they feel (that _I_ feel.)
However, that doesn't mean that their testing & release psychology is
sound. Perhaps ALL software releases should be marked as BETA until it
has been fire-tested in the field by people like us who will find every
conceivable problem with the code.
Seriously -- if 6.1.0 and even 6.1.3 had been marked as 'unproven BETA'
software (which seems to be what it is), would any of us be so annoyed?
I don't think so.
