Sorry for discussing on qa, I'm not subscribed to dev. Please consider cancel date for official release. Instead of final release, the conventional release cycle should be followed and not skipped. i.e. Beta, Release Candidate etc. This will entice more volunteers for improving the final release. My personal feeling is that 4.0 is not ready yet.
This is quite understandable and in the past I've been in a couple of occasions a quite vocal supporter of the "not ready yet" party. But I think that QA on the 4.0 snapshot is going rather well, and probably it will be enough to produce a new release candidate before the final release. There will always be bugs, but we have to draw a line and our latest release dates back to August 2012.
It is already planned that for 4.1 we will have a public beta release; for 4.0 we had some policy problems and concerns about giving too much visibility to unstable versions, but this will be addressed for 4.1. An important thing to do is to discuss rejected release blockers just after 4.0 is released, so that there is plenty of time to fix them by 4.1.
