I don't think anyone is suggesting that this happen. What *is* fairly
clear at this point, though, is that the rev team doesn't use revzilla
for bug^H^H^Hquality management or else they'd have integrated the
rollout with simultaneous revzilla changes. And that says a lot to me.

I see a pattern here. I'm not getting on *your* case particularly
here, but much the same thing happened with the last web site revision
when 2.7 was prematurely announced. Methinks the developers and the
web team don't talk to each other very often. There are still things
about the web site that haven't been fixed from that previous change,
(just try and find downloadable engines or bugzilla or anything about
the educational market) and there are some broken links now
(newsletter archives, for example).
