But if we do 1, then we have to spend the extra time for a second
release anyway. And we distribute software that loses our users data,
something I am very reluctant to do. Lots of people are going to
download this release, lose their data, and hate us. Esp. if they
find out we knew about the bug *before* the release.
Also, we are waiting on both someone to write release notes, and
SourceGear to fix their colo machine before we can release, regardless
of bugs.
