I really dont see how spring cleaning things like expertzzz and so on should really get in the way of the programmers doing their job, two different dept, one coders, the other site management.
Or should be anyway... As far as D7 is concerned, it keeps being said that this will come out of beta at anytime now, So i think perhaps whats happening with the bug tracker, is that they are not getting ticked as fixed when they are.

Im hoping thats what it is anyway
