R2 is not an unusable release. Proof: I'm using it right now (as are many others).

Now that is a proof like stating that all odd numbers are primes because you have shown that 1 and 3 are both odds and primes.


Actually, 1 is not a prime.

And besides, it's actually analogous refuting the statement "there are no odd primes" because I have shown that 3 is both odd and prime.

Usable for you doesn't mean it's usable for everyone.

And conversely, unusable for someone doesn't mean unusable for everyone. But "unusable" by itself, without a "for" clause, means to me that it can't be used -- not by you, not by me, not by anybody. It is without use. And that is clearly not the case, if there is somebody using it.

If one means that it's unusable *for him*, then one should say so, instead of the much stronger (and clearly preposterous) statement that it is not usuable at all.

Best,
