I think a LOT of it had to do with its being committed to the 7.0
sources, which at the time were supposedly going to be released on
Feb 1 (tomorrow).

If Peter had waited until 7.0 beta then dumped such changes into a new,
7.1 tree with 7.1 some months off I doubt there would've been anything
like the reaction he saw.

Didn't we all agree recently that this had to do mostly with Peter's
misunderstanding of how stable a beta release should be in this project?

(as opposed to other projects which run with a "release early, release
often" pardigm)?

If so, I think we're done with this topic and should be willing to just
let it drop.
