Too bad the WONTFIX bug that prompted your screed (and frankly, I agree with the WONTFIX in this case) wasn't filed until AFTER THE FINAL DEVEL FREEZE. Hey, if you didn't have time to test, that's OK. Not everyone does. But when we're trying to figure out real issues, Rumsfeldian pseudo-analysis based on *KNOWN* inaccuracies doesn't help.
