When someone requests new features you have two options:
- Tell them they have missed the feature/requirement freeze and will have to wait until next iteration.
- Tell them that, if they insist, it will delay the release.
Do not compromise the quality of the release.

There has been no trial, no due process,
By giving up, Lance Armstron has ensured we will never get a trial and never be presented with the facts, evidence and witness testimonies - and the myth(?) of Lance Armstrong as a clean cyclist will live on.
Why the hell did he do that ?! (To keep the myth alive?)

How could that be a surprise?
"Heat Wheel" Could Lower Data Center Power Bills 97
miller60 writes "An air conditioning technology called the 'heat wheel' is getting a test drive in data centers, and early adopters cite impressive reductions in their power bills. The heat wheel — also known as a rotary heat exchanger or Kyoto Cooling — is a refinement of cooling systems using outside air. Rather than introducing exterior air directly into the server room (the air economization we discussed recently), the heat wheel briefly mixes the outside air and exhaust air to create an air-to-air heat exchanger. A data center in the Netherlands using this approach only has to use chillers 11 days a year." The article points out that the heat wheel is not new, but it hasn't been applied to data centers until recently.

Have you tried timidity in the new AMD64 live CD?
Yes, how about Wine?
Have you tried how your cardreaders will be mounted in the new live CD?
Have you tried to search for DAAP and iTunes on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu ?
Have you reported any bugs for networkmanager on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug and made people aware of the problem?
How do you define ugly, shaky and middle-end modern?
Bottom line: What have you done to help to get the features work properly?
Someone let me know when malevolentjelly grows up. I'll stick to reading other comments in the interim.
