All of this (non-quoted) is IMO:

Rich: you sure have a vote and i certainly give you one. To sum thing up:
- We don't release 3.2 as yet, postpone until May.
- Release 3.1.1 now but don't build the CD set. There are several reasons
for this:
- as pointed out by others people are just about to install their 3.1-R;
- this will mean not all the fixed go into 3.1.1 since pr's for 3.1-R will
be dripping in the next few weeks (that's why i (among others) feel 3.2
is really bad at this time - rememeber this is the -stable branche);
- people will experience this shiny disc overload as a waste: too
expensive
and may cancel their subscription;
- changes aren't that huge (are they?) so people will be able to CVSUP.
One
wish would be for proper documentation on what's fixed when (other than
the pr database - or make it more accessable for regular (that is non-
contributing) users.
I won't go into details is this was just intended to be a trunover boost
for WC
because I feel it certainly not ;)
Cheers,
