As someone with no qualms about shipping stuff with known bugs (in
preference for shipping stuff with unknown bugs), I want to remind people
that we agreed to only work on critical bugs between RC1 and 1.1 final.

Any change can introduce unforseen consequences, and it is the last minute
quick fixes without a full beta-test that often turn out to be troublespots
in shipping code, primarily because without the widespread tests there is no
way to find out what the consequences of the change are.

If everyone is going to rush ahead patching things, then we are going to
have to do an RC2 release, completely lock down the CVS branch to all but
the most critical defects, then ship the final product two weeks later.
