[wp-forums] Put 'itsjustathought' on mod-watch

[Mika A Epstein]

It's cyclical.

Release a new version. Everyone hates it, we suck, we're evil, blah blah blah.

Things calm down. This version isn't so bad, here we go moving on, changing, yay!

It's quiet. We relax.

Someone can see RC on the far, far horizon. Reports of what's going to be including pop up.

Anger rises.

We're not fixing 'things.' (Because there's a new version coming? Because they're impatient? Hard to say.)

Beta comes out. OMG! You broke my plugins! How dare you use a new version of TinyMCE, even though we've been clamoring for a new version with fixes since dinosaurs roamed the earth!

Beta 2 - Why is there a SECOND Beta? You suck!

RC1 comes out. OMGWTFBBQ?!? My world has shifted!!!

RC2-n, repeat ad. nauseum.

Finally 3.4 is released and everyone hates us again.
