I for one realize how much of a delay the cleansing of Unity caused. There was also the attempt at updating D6 during that same time frame.
I think that a 07-08-09 release would be a remarkable accomplishment considering what Unity has gone through recently.
Although I am very excited to work with the FFD7b I also realize that it will be just that; BETA and not something that I expect I will take live with membership within minutes (or maybe even weeks or months) of see more downloading.
I really appreciate the opportunity to work with the betas because I enjoy it and it's an opportunity to learn, but I understand what FF beta means and temper my expectations accordingly.
I think a lot of the unwarranted negativity comes from unrealistic expectations.
Take the Alpha release as an example:
Victor stated very plainly that it was Alpha meant only to give us a view of the admin panel and not subject to upgrade and certainly not ready for prime time as a live site with members.
Yet I still saw many posts from people complaining this or that didn't work.
