Hi goran

but the plan 3.6 is perfect for me. We just have to stick with it.
Sexy for me means having a

	- clean kernel
	- diego stuff,
	- closure,
	- netwrok rewrite
	- simulator ....


So 3.6 is PERFECT but 3.5,5 is not so that is why I said that I would 
prefer that 3.6
should not come in beta just now.
