I have some (extensive) experience finding bugs in DragonFly. I have to agree with Francois that 2.12 would be considerably less broken than 2.10. I would be unable to run a 2.10 system. However, I do not advocate releasing 2.12 with known serious bugs. Like someone said before, a release cannot be labeled as a beta. If we know there's serious bugs scheduled for a release, that release shouldn't happen. I admit that this postpones all the bug fixes since 2.10 getting into a release, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Let's fix the serious bugs -- then release a stable product. --Peter
