Richard's actions towards the release aren't perfect, but in general
things seem like they're getting there.

There are some people who apparently think hysterics, apocalyptic
predictions, and sheer volume are the key to promoting their point of
view.

I also disagree with some of Richard's ideas (e.g. releasing 22.2 from
the trunk, the microseconds/milliseconds/whatever patch), but I don't
think screaming and moaning is going to solve a damn thing, particularly
at a time when the right thing to do is move carefully and deliberately.

Grow up people.  You can disagree without acting like a spoiled 2 year old.
