Hello all, I just wanted to follow up on this. Yesterday, Ben and I spent some time and went over the current bug list[1]. If you saw that email yesterday - please refresh that page, we've trimmed the hedges a little bit. Please note that, barring any huge bugs in 8.0.1-rc3, we really aren't intending on putting anything else into the queue.
So, if you're a developer: Please take a look at the tickets! Try to fix something. If you're a user: if you want something done for 8.0.1 that isn't done already, you better make a *really* good case for it, email us ASAP, and help us fix it! Realistically, we're going to be spending most of our time on the high/highest priority bugs. The remaining 'normal' bugs would be 'nice to have', and some may even be promoted - so if you can, maybe take a look. Otherwise we're going to be working on getting the remaining critical bugs fixed and out of the way and move forward. Thanks!
