I agree with this completely, but we cannot do it until
there's a full implementation of a reasonably designed and
followed development and release process that includes the
language specification.

The language has reached a point where bugs in the spec are
more important than bugs of the implementation. In fact many
difficult bugs in the implementation are rooted in spec issues.
I went to stress the "followed" part. I.e. we do have quite a
good release process description on wiki with some related parts
also mentioned. But if it is followed as good as upon 2.061, it
makes not difference.
