Comment 230 for bug 541511

@Alban I am sorry to hear you are disappointed. All I can say is that I
know there are a lot of people working hard to fix bugs and solve problems
and that a 6-month release cycle is putting a heavy burden and a lot of
strain on the developers.

What I do with new versions of any sofware I have been using since 1975 is
not use the x.0 version for production but wait for a x.1 release, and in
the meantime try to help as much as I can to solve issues with the x.0
version.

Regards
