Hi Georges, I appreciate that, and I'm sorry my email was perhaps abrasive and that it upset you. I'll try to choose my words more carefully in the future. It really wasn't my intention to assign blame. I'm also struggling to keep plates spinning, and sometimes I drop them as well.
What I want is a discussion on how we can ensure beta releases happen in the future. For example, can we do more to automate releases? Or (again, for example), could we have an automated script that emails this list with modules missing beta releases? Then even if releases are missed, people like me would at least know what to expect from the beta.
