FWIW, I don't think that amarok follows "Release Early, Release Often." 
philosophy [1] at the moment. Sure, those bugs might get fixed after "big 
release" but since you never do point/patch releases, users can only take 
"upgrade to git" suggestions which are by no means optimal.

P.S. I'm speaking in general, not about current list of release_blocker bugs.

[1] The recent trend shows a tendency of slow down. If those bugs are really 
serious, 4 months is a too long wait for serious fixes.
