Rodrigo, what we're discussing here is not the opportunity of committing the patches at all, it's obvious that they must go in, but the opportuntity commit them now instead of a 4-6 weeks time, for a feature that's new and whose you're a early adopter of. It is astonishing that someone cannot wait one month for a large amount of changes to land where other contributors had to wait over four months so far to get a release (half of the PSC was ready to release in February, mind), and had to pay consequences because of that. Working in a community is also about balancing the needs of all the contributors, focusing on one particular need and forgetting all the other work that was done is offensive for the peole that carried it on and makes it harder to justify contributing as a company, or find reasons to spend a Sunday trying to help out instead of having fun or relax. This of course works both ways, I'm sure Christian is pretty frustrated and wondering why he put all the effort and now he can't close it up for the 2.2.0 release, at the same time the people that wanted to release in February have been frustrated for 4 months now and with the continous pushes to delay the release to get in this or that it's really getting beyond ridicolous.
