I mean, god, sometimes I think users are like little children waiting for the pie that is in the oven and who want to take it out now before it finishes cooking so they can eat it, and they are very angry about it, and I should just understand that and not try to reason with it (but also not give them the pie before it finishes cooking either). Someone please tell me I don't understand the users and it all makes more sense than that, please....
No code before its time. No features in stable branches. Wait for it. Stop complaining about how you are abandoned, we are working hard. It's going to be the best pie ever. Wait for it.
