OK, quick comment. Last I checked, playback still had some serious bugs.
To release a version with the _primary feature_ broken as a landmark release
is nuts imo - everybody new to the project will be turned off. I second the
idea that if you need to release something it should be tagged as
'pre-release' / '2.9b' or similar.
Another option is to temporarily revert to the previous playback engine,
which was much more stable (on the H1x0 at least)...

I totally agree! :)

So v3.0 will be released with "annoying" bugs ...deliberately.
If the bugs cannot be fixed within 4, 8 or 16 weeks
...what is to say they can be fixed be by v3.0, 3.1 or 3.2?
I know my vote will count for absolutely nothing...
but I vote ...do NOT deliberately release broken firmware as a land-mark
version.
It could be quite crippling if it got slash-dotted or some other
publicity.
As for people installing "annoying" "buggy" firmware - well I suppose
that's just their own lookout.
I guess that there will be a big banner on the Firmware saying "This is
release is known to contain annoying bugs" ...or will we keep quiet about
that and just pray nobody notices?
