The same goes for bug fixes. Previously we had 100 fixes ready to load into 3.10 from mantis, all documented, and supplied in their natural form "changesets".
This is a misconception that really does deserve comment. Those "fixes ready to load" contained errors, pointed to incomplete and obsolete versions of patches, and could not possibly have functioned properly had they been loaded into multiple flavors of the image. The assertion that this strategy was going to work is complete utter nonsense, as is the claim that the project was "almost done".
Regardless of any real or perceived injustices, the plain simple fact is that the emperor had no clothes.
