Far from it. In fact, a careful reading of my post will reveal that I was making no comment about the 6.0 beta at all. Beta releases are definitely development projects. I was commenting on the peculiar naming of the wish list on the home page and its probable effect.
It seems reasonable that someone might think this forum, with its unusual title on the home page, is the place to chat about a beta. Especially since quite a few people will never read the preamble to the forum page itself, which talks about it being a wish list, and jump straight to the text box and start typing. That was my point.
I've often wondered why the wish list, as it is called everywhere else on the site, is referred to as possible development projects on the home page. The home page used to call this forum the wish list. I wonder why the change? It makes this forum sound like a developer's forum. As you know there is no such forum, but a development mailing list, albeit one where it is frowned upon to talk about beta release issues. For that, there is an email address.
So, my wish, to stay on topic for the forum, is for the wish list to be so (re)named on the home page
