Has the Community Beta lost its way?

[Peter Alcibiades]

Just one observation:  as far as Linux users are concerned, it has not yet 
started.  Now, if you're on Mac or Windows, apart from the fairly small 
limitation of not being able to compile in 2.7 mode for Linux, you are 
basically OK.  You might have issues about quality, but you're getting 
updates.

If you're on Linux, you are not.  You are on 2.6.1 and you don't have the alt 
stuff.

I understand why, its a small organization and its doing what it can.  And 
maybe from a Windows or Mac user point of view its not an important issue.  
Maybe its just something the Linux people have to live with.

But in the context of, how are we doing as Rev, its getting to be a real 
quality issue.  As they used to say when I was in manufacturing:  change the 
output, or change the standard.  

The one thing you must not do is have standards which are different from your 
output...
