I'm sad to say that you're right. It's just impossible to solve those bugs
in two days.
I guess 2.18 is becoming bigger and bigger ;)

That was 2 other +1s, so I guess that is a decision. I'll try and write it out later tonight if I can find some time.

While we've trimmed out some big features I still feel 2.16 is gonna be good. We got some serious bugs fixed, and deskbar feels way better overall than 2.14.

Raph: Good to hear from you! Maybe you should start brewing your own beer like me? My cousin did that when he worked in Sweden too.
