HL,
im going to have to ride this one with you. What would prompt an RC5 when you as developers have clearly stated that there are a large number of tickets that are pushed to 7.1?

RC4 and RC5 in a matter of days, HL if you recall that is the way that 6.1.5 and 6.1.6 were dropped on us.

Boonex, this is not exactly what would be coined D E V E L O P E M E N T.

get a grip guys, you released RC4, and two days later you drop RC5, so should RC4 be abandoned, and it was a premature mistake to see more set it public?

This is hurting everybody who has business here boonex, its hurting your license sales tremendously, if you were a perspective customer and you followed the number of RC releases, and see that rc follows rc two days, how excited would you be to jump onboard with this extravaganza?

not very likely, boonex this was off the hook to release an rc two days after one RC was released. i know you guys are chomping at the bits to drop the Final on us, and pretty much after RC3 we were all pretty ready for it and the fact that we now have more of an open ear than on any other releases, we as a community was ready to take on the task of helping get 7 stable.


then out of the blue, you come up with new access and approach levels, where you wish for the very people who have given you the feedback needed to bring D7 to a stable position, a new pricing structure, where they would be placed in an environment of cost to post, maybe not to the forums, but post to trac, seriously, you want to offer that as a perc of being a member of this community.

so here we have boonex with x-number developers, betas release, rc's release, community provides feedback on what does and doesnt work. boonex sets up a price structure and states that if you desire to post in the blogs or forums its going to cost you money, and if you want to submit tickets to our fair weather program 'yeah' you got it, its going to cost you money.

i have been a part of several development communities, and not one in the 20 years i have been on the internet, would require you to pay to submit a trac ticket.

i will most likely get admonished for this post, but it is what it is.

Regards,
DosDawg
