Forgive me if I missed something on this thread but I'm talking mostly from
what I've saw in the most recent SVN releases: isn't it better to postpone
due to what may be a lack of polish that might drive away users in the same
way KDE 4 and GNOME have done recently? One of the problems I have noticed
ever since I started using Linux is that desktop environment teams are
extremely preoccupied about release dates more than what users will
experience when using said environment, resulting in what ends up as a
product in a bug ridden mess that distros have to fix themselves before
packaging.
Not doubting your judgement - or anyone's - on the release date, since you
better than anyone have a better view of the project as a whole. Could it be
in order to have small release updates (call it 3.5.13.1) over the 3.5.13
branch until 3.5.14 is released, in a way to address the bugs that are know
to exist currently but can't make the release date? Otherwise they just get
pushed further to what can be a good while. That would seem to me a good way
to handle this situation.
Best regards,
Tiago
Thanks for checking. I know everybody is busy but
would be nice if some
of
these bugs were quashed before release.
Any possibility the official release could be pushed to Nov. 15 and some
top/critical bugs get attention?
If not then c'est la vie. Look forward to 3.5.13 anyway. :)

If you (or anyone else on this list) can get patches together and uploaded
to the bugtracker for any of the bugs mentioned within the next week or so
they can go into this release. If not then they will just have to wait
I'm afraid--I can't push this release back any further, as it is blocking
some rather critical updates that will solve other, more major problems.
