If 3.1 goes out right away, then it doesn't matter if 3.0 looks ridiculous. All eyes go to the latest release. Better to get this done before more people download 3.0 to kick the tires.

It seems like we are arguing over the version number of basically the same thing. I would like to see 3.0.1 released in early February for nearly the reasons you name. However, it seems to me that there are two kinds of issues: those like cmp removal and some silly IO bugs that have been fixed for a while and our waiting to be released. There's also projects like io in c which are important, but would not make the schedule you and I want for 3.0.1/3.1. It's for those longer term features that I want 3.0.1 and 3.1. If we immedatly released 3.1, when would those longer term projects that are important for migration make it to stable? 3.2 is probably a while off.
