People need to enumerate the list of problems they believe are still
"show stoppers", preferably the people in charge of those subsystems
so that I also know it's hard evidence being cited and not simply "I
read something on the -stable list and it alarmed me."

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.  Thanks.
