Then the responsible thing would be to respond?

Linux is not viable until it is done. Does it not worry you that in
your scenario the man pages for these commands would be untrue and
misleading? Shame on you!

Point me to the announcement to beta testers of that release,
please. I am unaware of it.
iso images are pointless, totally unnecessary, and wasteful, but are
provided as an alternative download option for those non-thinkers
that conventionally expect them and who applied pressure to get them
(they were NOT originally supplied). They are NOT the primary
distribution during beta testing, and never have been. If you think
differently, perhaps you need to educate Gael Duval? Or is it you
that is not aware of, or not obeying, his published instructions?
