Your opinion on this is certainly respected, and I guess that my message was bad news for all users who were hoping that 0.11 was just around the corner. But there's a reason the subject of this thread goes "What's gone wrong ...", and the mail was an analysis on why there is no 0.11 yet from my point of view. We're in a situation we ideally shouldn't be in, for a number of reasons. I maintain that I don't think that the current codebase is in a state that we should be releasing it. This has less to do with whether or not Trac trunk works okay from the perspective of the user, but a whole lot more with a number of team members (and I hope others will speak up on this thread) being unhappy with some internals and added/ changed APIs. And as Trac is now really a platform that many developers add additional functionality to in the form of plugins, things that aren't necessarily user-visibe have become very important. I'm ready to put work into moving things forward, as are others, but it'll take time. And as I said, we really need to look into moving towards release often and early. It's been said many times before, but somehow we've always messed it up with recent releases.
