<RANT>We know exactly this phenomenon for several years now and to my

was to install a consensus that the pre-release phase should last at
least two weeks. To my opinon two _months_ would be appropriate for
such a complex piece of software that runs on so many different
platforms and is maintained by such a small developer base.
Unfortunately I didn't manage to crowd a significant number of
supporters for this idea.</RANT>
Actually there were times when I got on everyones nerves by
continuously pointing at bugs or inconsistencies that I was unable to
fix myself. Finally I realized that only reporting or documenting bugs
(whereas the latter is a _really_ time-consuming task !!) without
providing a fix was not that much welcome and I decided to engage with
my own sub-projects that I am capable of running without external help.
Martin,
I'm not disagreeing with you, but would like to point out that there
exists a perfect world with infinite time and infinite energy. But then
there exists my world. When I get a window of opportunity I need to
take it or we may not get a release for another year ...
Curt.
