Don’t listen to me, listen to a wp-hackers regular.

Here’s another thing that’s messing with my brain. One day people are being told ‘don’t put this on a production site, it’s not finished! things will break!’ The next day, they’re told ‘go ahead! download the new shiny thing!’ And, in the interim, little has really changed. It’s not like Matt goes through Trac and says: ‘ok, now we’ve squashed this final bug that was holding us back, we’re ready for release’. He just looks at the calendar and say ‘ok, it’s Monday, we’re ready for release.’

If nothing else, the fact that the release hasn’t been announced on the dev blog proves that it wasn’t ready for primetime. I wonder whether they’ll put out the bugfix release straight away or hang about for the next security hole to be announced?
