I share your concern but no one has actually the time or manpower to solve
these bugs, and to be honest I don't think that postponing the release any
longer will improve the situation.
IMHO you underestimate the important point for FOSS(GIS) that we need
to aim at quality and stability, not the low price. Postponing releases is
common and usually motivated. Happens in the proprietary world, too.
by now, 1.7 has already been postponed for months and the situation
hasn't improved : many work, few hands. We can call it an alpha version
but let's put it out in the field so people who need these features can
use them without ressorting to gosgeo4w/dal-dev. This way the tools are
here for those who want and the sign "danger zone, do not switch" is
present for those who don't.
Lessons can be learned without blocking the situation, for example not
merging a single new feature if the blocking bug count is above ten like
the drupal's maintainers do.
