Releasing 3.1 6 months after 3.0 sounds reasonable; I don't think it should be released earlier (else 3.0 looks fairly ridiculous).

It sounds like my approval of Raymond's removal of certain (admittedly obsolete) operators from the 3.0 branch was premature. Barry at least thinks those should be rolled back. Others? I agree that not too much harm is done by removing stuff in 3.0.1 that erroneously had been left in the 3.0 release - in particular if 3.0.1 gets released quickly (e.g. within two months of the original release). If that is an acceptable policy, then those changes would fall under the policy. If the policy is not acceptable, a lot of changes to 3.0.1 need to be rolled back (e.g. the ongoing removal of cmp fragments)

I have no problem with removing things that were advertised and/or
documented to be removed in 3.0 but accidentally were not. That seems
like a reasonable policy to me. However, if we did not tell people
that something was going to be removed, then I don't think we can
really remove it in 3.0.
