Just to be clear, I was defending the type, not myself. We can't take
any minor disagreements personally. If we do we start splintering the
group and that's no good for the project as a whole.

The bottom line is that there was a little bit of a problem getting
6.4 out the door but we wound up with a superior product. We also
have some ideas for improving the release methodology for next time.
Given what we have I don't believe anyone needs to beat themself up
over some minor problem that we had getting there.
