Helping people migrate contribs is a significant issue and we will continue to work on it. Among other things, I like the idea of a bringing back a single download for people who don't care about modularity. This is easy enough to do on top of a modular system, it just hasn't bubbled to the top of anybody's priority list. That said, there are businesses who could use Clojure 1.3 tomorrow if it had an official release. They shouldn't have to wait. Also, the single best way to flush out the contrib issues is to have people trying a release.
