I'm all for releasing a rock-solid product too or 4.4-RELEASE would already be up for FTP access, but I can't delay it based on rumor and supposition, I need solid evidence that something is a show-stopper and I need some sort of ETA for a fix since otherwise we're just holding the release up indefinitely with no end in sight.
