As long as we reach consensus about whether we should release. At this point we've wait this long, if we were going to release 3.0.4 sans Aether 1.12 we should have done it a month ago. Right now the best thing for users is to make the best possible release and that includes Aether 1.12 which poses no risk to anyone at this point.

What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay. -- Eric Hoffer, Reflections on the Human Condition
