Hi Steph,

[snip]

This is very negative, Stas. "Everybody wants it so let's push it out 
without testing". Do you really want a repeat of 5.0?
[/snip]

I don't think Stas is implying not to test it.  We are talking about another 5.3 alpha, right?  Clearly the beta and RC releases will allow the community to help test and I really do believe this will get a lot of community use in beta/RC mode.  What theories are you referring to that need more exploration that can't be done yet for 5.3?  Obviously I'm in favor of seeing this in 5.3 but if it does get postponed to 6.0 it would be nice to see a plan of attack for finishing the implementation immediately after the 5.3 release.  Without such a plan I fear Stas' prediction of more of nothing will come true.
