<shrug> Not my call - I guess Allan & Sumana, in collaboration with the
board, are fixing priorities for the next 2-3 weeks.

The whole "fall-back" messaging & in particular the absence of a short

be setting us up for an entirely avoidable post-release shit-storm...
but like I said, it's not my call.
