Just a few more months? That is exactly what I was asking for, put some
of the stuff into 7.6 so it will be released in a few more months
instead of holding back the release now.

Afilias has already payed for as well. Are they paying in some strange
kind of different dollars or what?

There is again this "will be released". Great, but what I don't get is
why the stuff that wasn't ready at the original release schedule
qualifies in your mind easily to push back, when my stuff that was ready
is so unimportant that it can simply be jiggled around for a couple of
months. Are nested transactions that more or an "everyone needs" feature
than the benefits resulting from an improved cache algorithm?

"would" call you by name just to make my point ;-)
