[wp-hackers] The next release.

[Jefte Puente]

"I wouldn't say they're all happy. I would also say that it's pretty 
widely regarded that especially in open source the most vocal people 
aren't always representative of most users (though sometimes they are). 
However I wouldn't use that as a blanket dismissal of everyone who 
complains, that'd be silly."
