You are right that people are working on these things and fixes appear. However, please don't expect a real Om 2008.11 'release' before the end of the month. There is simply too much progress in all areas right now, we need a bit more time for everything to settle before calling something another 'release'. Maybe a few months. Maybe we come out with snaphost in between, similar to FSO's milestone builds. If someone proves me wrong then great, I am just telling you please keep your Om 2008.11 release expectations low.
