[wp-testers] Beta-mania reigns!

[Kirk M]

There's a problem with this release. The problem is as follows:

WordPress 2.5 is being tested at the same time as Firefox 3 beta's 
(which can either be 3, 4 and soon 5) and IE 8.0 beta (with IE 7.0 
emulate mode no less) are out on the street plus Safari 3.1 which has 
just recently been released. Safari 3.1 runs on OSX and Windows 
XP/Vista, Firefox 3 beta's and nightly builds (oh, did I happen to 
mention the nightlies?) run on OSX, Windows XP/Vista and Linux. Early 
adoption of Firefox 3 has been rather *huge* since beta 3 and there are 
a fairly significant number if users (like me) who are running the 
nightly builds. Never mind things like Seamonkey, Flock, Konqueror, 
K-melon, ad-browser-infinitum.

This is a developers nightmare. If there's a problem with DB importing 
from 2.3 to 2.5 that's one thing otherwise I suggest forget trying to 
fix "every-little-thing" and push this baby out. There's always 2.5.1, 
2.5.2, etc. (absolutely no sarcasm intended).

After all the above mentioned "beta- browsers" are out in their final 
form /then/ you can think about accommodating them. It's a wonder 
somebody hasn't mentioned XP SP3 RC2 (with or without "refresh").

What do ya' think? [grin]
