[Bf-committers] *** SPAM *** Re: Blender 2.80 release, commits to port over

[Bastien Montagne]

Well, thing is that RC's are tested/used by maybe 5 to 10% of our user 
base, at the very most? So as always, we know that we'll get another 
train of reports only when we actually call it 'final' release. Inluding 
some critical ones that would never have been reported with only RC's, 
even if we had done ten of those...

So yes, really think we just have to trace a line, and accept that 2.80 
won't be as mature and stable as 2.7x was. Also, stabilizing/release 
process has been going on for a veeeery long time now, most of the (if 
not the whole) dev team is somewhat exhausted from it I think, time to 
call it done and go forward!

PS: we *always* tell people reporting bugs to first check with master 
builds anyway. ;)
