First i'd like to make 1 thing clear, stable term used in two, completely different contexts, and it is easy to confuse: 1. stable as not crashing 2. stable as not evolving/developing The release are stable, first of all, in terms of 2. Not in terms of 1. Because there can be problems which were lying hidden etc etc. Of course one should try to get release meet both characteristics. Now about expectations. i wrote a long mail explaining this and that.. but then i decided to remove everything. Personally, I failing many expectations of many people. But it doesn't means that a) i don't want make things better b) i do it intentionally. yes, sometimes i do it intentionally. but then usually i letting those people know why i doing that. Second, what i did learnt using electronic communications is that when you got no response, it doesn't means that you completely ignored. In opposite to real life, when you say something face to face. Third. Put your anger towards fighting with bugs, not people who are you working with. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
