i can't think of any serious reason, could you help out a bit?
getting dangerously close to whining, i really think you are
punishing pre-orderers here. the faq says prefer binary packages.
i'd really like to.
I honestly don't understand your logic. We pre-ordered, yes, but we
should have no expectation to even receive the CDs prior to the
release date, let alone bug fixes and packages. We've simply been
allowed to order prior to the release date. Anything beyond that is a
bonus, and one for which we should be grateful. Let's not ruin a
really cool thing by being greedy and ungrateful.
