I don't understand this paragraph at all. From what I could gather, this was one of *the* new features to be advertised for the next stable version. When Bob reported several times that it was nonfunctional, never was there a reply of yours stating this wasn't intended feature. While I can see you backing up because you want to move closer to this release, I cannot understand how you can argue now that this was not a feature users should be able to profit from.
