except when they are wrong ...

... but, as for crash recover, the plan right now is that on Thursday, Dec
1st, 7.1 goes beta ... if you are so keen on the crash recovery stuff,
what I'd recommend is grab the snapshot, and work with that on your
machine, get used to the features that it presents and report any bugs you
find. Between beta and release, there will be bug fixes, but no features
added, so it makes for a relatively safe starting point. I wouldn't use
it in production (or, rather, I personally would, but it isn't something
I'd recommend for the faint of heart), but it will give you a base to
start from ...

release will be shortly into the new year, depending on what sorts of bugs
ppl report and how quickly they can be fixed ... if all goes well, Jan 1st
will be release date, but, from experience, we're looking at closer to jan
15th :)
