Give me a break Patrick. As someone else pointed out, they above all
devs. know
what the features are in 3.5.....we need them all, as has been stated
for so long.

It sounds like they don't want to implement all the features of 3.5, but
so far,
no one's been honest about that, or not that I've read anyway. Did I miss
something? When asked what features we want, the answer normally is
ALL of what we have in 3.5. That's an informative answer. It's not a
"nasty" response....just being factual. We don't want to loose anything.
