This is foolish, I'm sorry but it just is. If we treated all of our
software this way, we wouldn't need an alpha or beta because everything'd
be changing at the last minute. If upstream doesn't think it's ready by
our own alpha, why on earth would we try to squeeze it in later in the
game where it will go GA to our users with little or no testing with
itself and other applications?
