I'm looking at it but sooner or later we have to say enough is enough,
we release what we have. Holding up the release for 1 bug has great
knock on effects to release plans - no devs are committing stuff
because we are in feature freeze etc. We will never get it perfect in
every release so all we can do is make sure its as good as we can make
it within the time we have and then release. This case is especially
important because delays are eating into our release window for 1.0.

Also I'm loathe to spend days tracking down composer issues when the
first thing thats going to happen after release is Marco is going to
merge in his composer work.

So tomorrow night I'm really really going to branch come hell or high water....

Regards

Tim
