Yes, I actually do object. We cannot go on releasing beta after beta without killing development -- bug fixing is slacking off more and more because everybody is tired by now. More and more, people are either stopping to hack or working on new stuff. Nobody can keep their attention span on releasing for so long. We've been working on Calligra way more than a year now, we've been trying to release for about half a year!

I really think that another beta won't help much; for Words we should disable the changetracking and rdf gui, which expose the worst breakage. I don't believe that another week, another month will actually make a difference.

I think it's time to release.
