First of all, let me be the first to reply that not only do you sound
like a jerk, you are acting like a jerk.  I'm a bit confused by your
statement that they should be "willing to accept my criticism".  Does
this mean that because you donated a small sum of money you are
suddenly the person who sets the timelines?  Because they don't set
some arbitrary deadline based on your own personal needs this means
they are not accepting your criticism?  This I don't understand.

You're not a customer, you're an end user.  This isn't a business and
they owe you NOTHING except a thank you for a monetary donation to
offset the costs of hosting the project.  This idea that "the customer
is always right" is the biggest piece of bullsh*t ever put out there.

Yeah, it sucks that 1.2 isn't "officially" ready.  That shouldn't be
the reason to not use it.  Instead of moaning about it, why don't you
contribute to the 1.2 effort so it gets out there faster?
