Hi Thomas,
as I already mention in reply to Jeff, it does not seem that way for me.
During V2 switch I've address tens of issues that originally were present.
At the same time, regressions in concept_check and mpl, on *all* compilers,
that I reported to this list and to you personally are still there. 

I did suggested to you to setup an issue tracker specifically for listing
all issues that must be addressed before release. It would allow anybody to
understand the state of release process.

Do you still think it's a bad idea? I can create the tracker in 5 mins.
