Ouch! Like some (many?) others, in my world the whole value of 3.0 is wrapt in SMP and kernel threads. Nothing else counts, comparatively speaking. : It is better to get : 3.0 to a stable state to limit the flak from people who don't (won't) : understand why 2.2.8 will come out after 3.0. How about delaying the release long enough to include the significant added value, thereby reducing the gap between 2.2.8 and 3.0, thereby reducing the flak from the quarter you posit, as well as the flak from my own kindred spirits?
