One thing that I think often gets overlooked is the POLA, Principle Of Least Astonishment. Granted, only 10-20 percent of the userbase will read it, but at least, when someone posts on the forums, I just upgraded to F9 and .... someone can post a link back to the release notes, a What's Changed section. I realize it's difficult. We all get used to things, and don't even realize what's changed--for instance, the relocation of the session selector in gdm--I bet that when F9 is released, there'll be posts on the forums about it. As others have said, despite all the kinks that you folks are trying to fix, we're all very grateful for all your hard work.
