Revolution 2.8.1: a 240+ bug fixes/improvements! What about the remaining 1879?

[Derek Bump]

And an even warmer thank you to RunRev for incorporating at least 100
new enhancements into the 2.9 release!

(FYI: that's not a slander or flame... it's my "hope" for the future)

I have to say that I was more happy with this open beta then the last
one.  The main reason, I was actually asked for a list of my top 5 bugs
that I want to see resolved.  That gave me a voice, and I didn't have to
spend my time trying to get people to vote for my bug.  AND, the #1 bug
on my list was resolved, again (long story).

I, personally, find that determining priority for bugs should not be
based on how many votes a bug or enhancement may have, and for this
specific reason (mind you, I'm in the USA):  If there were 1,879
candidates in an election, nearly all of the voters will be unhappy with
the elected candidate.

I would prefer that bugs and enhancements would be handled like this:

 - Bugs that are determined to be critical (like crashes and destroyed
data) would be handled first, and, resolved for free.

 - Bugs and Enhancements that are not critical would be taken care of on
a first come/first serve basis, with status reports at least once a month.

But other than that, I'm really liking the way things are going with
Rev.  Every year the program gets stronger, and I'm not unhappy with
that in the least.
