I think you mean 'versions that run with known bugs' ? Still bugged I'm
afraid.

It wasn't open all the time & no i was talking about 'mailing' or maybe
poking on IRC. Note that I myself was unavailable during this period.

Besides the bug in question got fixed in a day, so before that point
there's still an unexplained gap ? And you obviously knew about it,
because you already had marked it stable...

A nice misinterpretation, once again you try to play it on the person &
on a totally unrelated example, while I even told you thats sort of a
weak way to go about arguing your case (you don't have much else i
guess). Maybe if you read it objectively, you would would be able to
give a fair judgement, but i guess thats way beyond you.

Basically what you are saying here comes down to this : "Judge, they
steal too, so I should be allowed to steal as well.." I don't think that
holds up anywhere.

Anyway, were open to changes there, unlike some devs here.

Again on the person, you really don't have any objective, sound
arguments do you ?

Well I'd say that it doesn't really matter, because in the end it is not
your decision and I know most devs are more objective than you in this
matter. I actually do not think I can convince you of anything because
you are so stuck up in your own way of thinking. Thats exactly what this
is about, because if you would be reasonable then this wouldn't be an
issue in the first place. You are afraid of losing some of the freedom
you enjoy now and won't trade it for better QA, it's very human to hang
on to every scrap of imagined power you got.
